Polished Dial Menorah by MA-MA

This beautiful menorah comes from MA-MA, a multidisciplinary design studio that approaches each design through an architectural lens with the aim of creating spaces and objects that are contextual, yet transformative; fostering beauty and functionality in all things.

The ambiguity of the object is meant to appeal to those who celebrate the holiday, as well as those who have a general affinity for design. Two nine inch diameter, one inch thick polished aluminum slabs sit on top of one another, and are connected by a hidden center rod. The top slab rotates around this connection, and in doing so, a new hole is revealed signifying each new day of Hanukkah for which a new candle is to be placed and lit. The highly reflective metallic exterior of this Menorah aims to amplify the candle light beyond the object itself, speaking to the symbolism of the holiday it represents.

The Menorah, a symbol of light during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, is used over the course of eight days, and has traditionally taken the shape of an ornate candelabra with eight branches extending from a center stem. MA-MA saw an opportunity to introduce an updated, contemporary design for this religious object, by creating a design object whose function is seemingly ambiguous, but remains both beautiful and functional.

About the designers: Laylee, Safura and Sanam Salek are the sisters behind the studio MA-MA. They grew up in a culturally Jewish family where tradition held a deeper resonance than religion. Lighting the Menorah during Hanukkah was one of these cherished rituals—a way to bring light into the home. Inspired by their mother’s keen eye for design, her love for artistry and her collection of rare Menorahs, the sisters of MA-MA felt compelled to create a Menorah of their own—a modern reinterpretation, departing from traditional forms. This piece is their way to continue their mother’s legacy, adding to her collection with a fresh perspective.

The Dial Menorah by MA-MA will include a box of 44 custom non-drip candles. The beautifully reflective surface of the menorah is susceptible to smudges and marks. Use a soft microfiber cloth to polish the surface after use.
