Ceremonial Objects & Packaging
KIDDUSH
OP JERUSALEM · 2024

Kiddush objects carry deep ritual and cultural meaning, yet many existing pieces remain rooted in highly traditional aesthetics. The opportunity was to reinterpret this familiar ceremonial object through a more contemporary visual language — while preserving its symbolism, sense of occasion, and connection to Jerusalem.
