Happy Hanukah! In 1985, Achille Castiglioni participated in a design competition held by the Israel Museum of Jerusalem, which invited both local design students and non-Israeli designers to create a menorah for mass production. Here's Castiglioni's submission:
"Castiglioni designs a candelabrum with seven arms, consisting of two identical semicircular pieces in metal sheets pressed in a single die and jointed with rivets. Cup-shaped to accommodate the candleholders, the three samples are prototyped in makralon sheets, but thought to have its final production in similar plastic materials or different metal sheets. The handgrip-foot of the candelabrum is a manufactured rubber handle (similar to the handlebar grips of a motorcycle)."

The conventional US menorah for Hanukkah has 9 candles. One candle is the shamash and is used to light the other eight. Each night the shamash lights the number of candles corresponding to the day up until the eighth day.
Those are Temple Menorahs (7 branches), not Chanukah Menorahs (9 branches).
