More information

Karim Rashid's production runs the gamut from industrial design, art, and music to installations. His Hanukkah lamp, commissioned by the museum and produced in four colors, displays the biomorphic form, contemporary material, and brilliant color that characterize his work. Mass-produced and moderately priced, his works marry cutting-edge design with affordability. Other editions of Rashid's Menorahmorph are available for sale in the museum's Cooper Shop.
