L’OBJET is the vision of Elad Yifrach. Quality is his mantra, and all the firm’s offerings are his own original designs.


L’OBJET aspires to offer designs for the home that are both luxurious and functional, to the highest degree of excellence possible. As a young and successful Hollywood interior designer, our founder Elad Yifrach was frustrated by the limited options available to him. So, in 2004, he started the company, based firmly on a commitment to artistic integrity and material innovation, to produce objects that integrated beauty with design.


Few have explored as we have the rich potential of incorporating distinctive, precious materials into functional works of art. We are proud of what we make, for its extraordinary beauty and quality. Things like these contribute to the character of a magical life. This mission continues to guide L’OBJET as one of the most innovative and fastest growing companies in the luxury goods sector.


It is no accident that The Robb Report in 2009 recognized L’OBJET as the “Best of the Best” in Tabletop. Our visionary style promises a fresh and original look for luxury home goods now and for years to come. Indeed, our creations have been widely hailed in countless publications including Harper’s Bazaar, Elle Décor, House Beautiful and Town and Country, as well as in feature films and Network television.


A lifelong traveler and devotee of the Mediterranean, Elad is enamored of its peoples and ways, and especially its venerable traditions of craft. His designs, on the one hand, represent a spirited homage to these great artisans and their achievements. But he also aspires to extend and exceed them, as his work makes clear, through painstaking effort and imagination, to the very pinnacle of excellence.


Roll your fingers over the sharply contoured relief of this porcelain finish—quality like this is to be caressed—and you will feel the weight and the depth and delicacy that Elad craves. This is passion. Elad believes you never give up on passion. It is imagination. It is invention. But most of all—this being the Mediterranean trait par excellence—it is commitment to a life of beauty.


Only later did Elad branch into the precious metals. In the beginning
it was porcelain that obsessed him. Looking for the crisp and vibrant expression of its most exquisite aspects, he wanted to make it do things it had never done before. Toward this end, he was forced to break down and rethink traditional technique, straining it—and the credulity of its expert technicians—to bursting. Thus, he tirelessly pursued the world’s foremost workshops. He approached them with humility. But, “You cannot do that,” they said, “It cannot be done.” Porcelain cannot to be made to hold such forms, nor gold finishes shine so brilliantly.


What Elad means by quality is perfection. It starts with the material, only the best, and the artisans, consummate masters of their craft. But
it doesn’t end there. It also is the relentless trial end error that leads to innovation. Thus, the hand-crafting techniques Elad has evolved for
the manufacture, like the objects themselves, are like none other the world has ever seen. Despite a timeless quality that resonates with
Old World charm, this is something entirely new—graceful, detailed and rich in history, but thoroughly modern.


Prior to founding L’OBJET in 2004, Elad enjoyed a successful career as an interior designer based in Beverly Hills. Inspired by natural beauty and the elegant architecture of the world’s great civilizations, he saw clearly from the beginning what he wanted, but quickly came to realize that no one in the world yet made anything like that. So he set himself to the task and after many months of inspired exploration, he flew to New York and presented his prototype to Bergdorf Goodman, who immediately placed an order. Thus did his L’OBJET journey truly begin. And now, he wants nothing more than for people to enjoy his beautiful objects as much as he thrills in making them.
