At L'OBJET, we create extraordinary objects that transform everyday rituals into meaningful experiences. Combining exceptional craftsmanship with timeless design, L’OBJET is the life work of Founder and Creative Director Elad Yifrach.

Founded in 2004, L’OBJET was born at the intersection of meticulous craftsmanship and timeless sensibility. Today, the brand continues to set standards in the luxury lifestyle industry, while still employing many of the same craftspeople whom Elad met on his early travels.

The collections extend and exceed traditional craftsmanship, through effort and imagination, to create a new echelon of modern artistry. A passion for innovation, in both technique and the use of high-quality materials, infuses everything he creates. Each collection is rich in detail and unmatched in quality.
