Twin sisters Jessica and Monica Giovachino founded GioGio Design, and Jessica, a practicing architect, designs the pieces. She earned her Bachelor of Architecture at Virginia Tech, is registered to practice in New York, Maryland and Virginia, and has designed homes from Long Island to Annapolis. Projects she collaborated on have appeared in Architectural Digest and Coastal Living.
That training shows in the menorahs. Jessica draws each design on the computer, the parts are cut from FSC-certified bamboo plywood on a CNC router or laser cutter, and she sands and finishes each piece by hand with linseed or butcher block oil in her Long Island studio. There are no fasteners: the pieces slot together and come apart to store flat, which is handy for a menorah that spends most of the year in a closet.
Beyond Judaica, GioGio makes slot-together home accessories and a jewelry line in leather, wood, stainless steel and brass. At ModernTribe you'll find the Lotus Flower Menorah in full and mini sizes, in bamboo with nickel candle cups.
