Fortuny Ashanti Red Small Canister 4.5 X 7"

The artisans of Venice inspire us. We love not only their consummate abilities but also their way of being — a sumptuous tapestry of invention and delight, woven throughout everyday experiences. Their carefully guarded secrets and techniques have been handed down directly from the ancient world, one generation of skilled artisans to the next. The legendary fashion and textile designer Mariano Fortuny – revealing a deep and kindred connection that transcends time - sets the spirit of this collaboration. The L'Objet pour Fortuny dinnerware collection is composed of earthenware and metals with hand-gilded 24K gold accents. 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.
