This candle stick is made in Israel by Yosef Ohayon, a craftsman who works with olive wood and shapes each piece by hand in his small workshop. The candle stick is carved in the form of the Hebrew word Chai – a symbol of life and continuity – and the natural grain gives the wood clear lines that show its age and character. Yosef sands the curves until the surface feels even and the movement of the grain stands out.

Two brass candle holders rest at the top, fitted by Yosef so the candles sit securely without distracting from the wood. The base is formed from the same piece, which allows the candle stick to feel steady and unified. Every piece looks slightly different, since each section of olive wood has its own color pattern and natural marks, and Yosef follows these differences as he shapes the final form.

This candle stick combines the presence of olive wood, the meaning of Chai, and the sacred work of an Israeli artisan who pays close attention to every detail. It carries a clear link to Israel from the first cut to the final finish.
