Chai Modern is a Cape Town design studio that makes traditional Judaica in a simple, fresh and modern way. The name is the idea: chai means life, and the studio sets out to bring that to modern Jewish families. Everything is made in South Africa and shipped around the world.
Its collections carry Yiddish names like Mensch, Chutzpah, Oy Vey and Zilch, and are worked in ceramic, wood and metal, acrylic, eco resin and wire, from menorahs, candlesticks and challah boards to seder plates, matzah covers and tallit bags. Chai Modern pieces have also been sold by the Jewish Museum shop in New York and by Maisonette.
