EXQUISITE OBJECTS

Mr Porter presents a special collaboration between L’Objet and Haas Brothers

For this season, Mr Porter presents L’Objet x Haas, a selection of exclusive lifestyle objects.

Launched by Mr Elad Yifrach in 2004, L’Objet is a curation of luxury homeware, candles and grooming products that elevate everyday living spaces. Each collection incorporates precious materials and the know-how of artisans specially trained in timehonoured techniques.

L’Objet x Haas is a collaboration between the L’Objet brand and the Los Angeles-based Haas Brothers - Simon and Nikolai Haas - artists known for their playful, imaginative and attentiongrabbing sculptures. Here are a few selections from the collection.

The ‘Meditator’ gold-plated porcelain incense burner is an offbeat object described as a “beacon of peace and tranquillity” cast from porcelain bisque and plated with gold.

‘Huggers’ is a gold-plated porcelain box

Inspired by “the joy of rediscovering family and friends.” It is handcrafted from gold-plated porcelain, and both smiling heads come off to reveal two separate compartments.

The ‘Grand Gold-Plated Porcelain Ashtray’ is handcrafted from porcelain in the shape of a fantastical creature and illuminated with goldtone spots, eye sockets and a protruding tongue

‘Lacquered Wood Poker Set’ is made from pink lacquered wood and comes with beautifully illustrated playing cards and colourful chips. It would also make an excellent gift for the card shark in your circle

‘Jumbo Set of Two Playing Cards’ is a hotstamped felt box containing two decks of jumbo illustrated playing cards that are as much works of art as they are functional pieces

‘Cheese Louise’ is a set of two wood and goldtone serving boards sculpted in smoked oak with playful gold-tone brass faces on the handles. They slot together as a set or can be placed on the table separately
