Painted Aluminum Hannukah Lamp by Luigi Del Monte

About the Item

This minimalist Hanukkah lamp created in 2002 by the Italian designer Luigi Del Monte, is made of painted aluminum in a striking blue finish. The lamp’s design features a linear arrangement of eight modular rectangular blocks, each with a hole for holding a candle. The ninth block, intended for the shamash (the helper candle), is subtly integrated, maintaining the clean, geometric structure of the lamp. When turned, it doubles as a functional holder for Shabbat candles, showcasing its dual-purpose utility. Del Monte’s approach exemplifies a contemporary interpretation of Jewish ceremonial art, merging functionality with modern aesthetics. The use of aluminum emphasizes the object’s sleek, industrial character, while the vibrant color infuses it with visual warmth. This piece embodies Del Monte’s focus on minimalism, transforming traditional Judaica into a modern, adaptable artifact. Luigi Del Monte is an Italian designer renowned for his innovative approach to Judaica and functional art. With a background in industrial design, he often experiments with unconventional materials and forms, combining tradition with a modernist sensibility. His works are celebrated for their ingenuity, clean lines, and adaptability, making them cherished by collectors and users seeking meaningful yet contemporary designs for ritual objects. Every item in Menorah Galleries is accompanied by a Lifetime Certificate of Authenticity and additional documentation and information regarding the individual artifact and its culture.

Luigi Ghirri It's Beautiful Here, Isn't It... by Luigi Ghirri, Stated 1st Ed
Located in valatie, NY
Luigi Ghirri: It's Beautiful Here, Isn't It... by Luigi Ghirri. Published by Aperture, NY, 2008. Stated 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Ghirri was an extraordinary photographer, as well as a writer and curator whose career was so rich and varied that it seems like a lesson in the contemporary history of the medium. Although well known in his native Italy, Ghirri does not yet have the international audience his work merits--perhaps because he died so young. This is the first book published on Ghirri in the U.S. It will establish him as the seminal artist he was. Uncannily prescient, Ghirri shared the sensibility of what became known in the U.S. as the New Color and the New Topographics...
