Expandable foam lamp in creamsicle. Handmade by sculptor Joseph Algieri, each 7-watt incandescent bulb can be gently screwed in or out to count the nights of Hannukah. Representative of Algieri's distinct aesthetic that combines the ostentatious glam of the 1980s with a sense of Brutalist unease. On the border of art and design, decadence and disgust.
Made to order - two week lead time.

Judaica Standard Time explores the space between faith and design. It is playful, yet profound. The spiritual realm contains many functional objects that have been overlooked and forgotten over the years and through generations. Working with international artisans and designers on classic and traditional Judaica objects, JST looks to return these pieces to the forefront of our homes and minds. On the fringes of religion and spirituality, our goal is to connect and belong. To be useful in ways we had forgotten and to bring people together in pride and in memory. Judaism plays a part, but it is not the whole story. We hope these pieces can transcend religion and find a place in the spaces of all people.
