Brass plated with 24K Gold and hand set with coral cabochons. Prior to founding L’Objet in 2004, Israeli-born Elad Yifrach was a successful designer in Beverly Hills. He was creating beautiful interiors, but he was frustrated by the limited options available in home accessories, so he set out to create something better. L’Objet’s collections are diverse, but they are almost always inspired by nature and architecture. Many of his exquisite serving pieces rest in a base of hand-crafted gold foliage, other pieces feature intricate design and beadwork, and some of the most striking objects actually look like miniature buildings. And despite the lux feel, much of the line is practical with just a touch of whimsy.
