This just appeared in our inbox — new Hanukkah decorations and a few older best sellers from Modern Tribe, a web shop based out of Atlanta. They've got a huge selection of modern menorahs, including a couple of upcycled ones made from pipe fittings and bike chains.
Our favorites are the Jonathan Adler pieces (he's always strong on holiday décor), the subway-themed Hanukkah cards by graphic designer Cheryl Berkowitz, and the hefty wrought iron Menorah by Areaware (which recently appeared in an Apartment Therapy Style Collage).

I love the peacock one! Trying to scheme how I could make that on my own.
None of these are kosher for Hanukkah. The main candle is supposed to be at the end and all the others should be at the same height.

That's not true that these Hanukkah menorahs are not kosher -- all but the Jon Adler Skyline menorah are kosher. The shamash, the traditionally higher candle holder, needs just to be different, distinguished from the rest. It can be lower, on the side, and actually, is usually -- in the middle -- like most of the Hanukkah menorahs (or Hanukias) you see above. The reason why the shamash needs to be different? It's the "worker" candle and its light is ok to use for utility. The other candles are not to be used for anything functional, but to be enjoyed for their spiritual light.
The Skyline is not kosher because the other candles are supposed to be "equal" or alike and this menorah varies the heights of the other candles. Nonetheless, many Jews don't care so much about that. The distinguished shamash, however, you'll nearly always see that in a Hanukkah menorah.
love the peacock one! =)
