A deep look into the soul: New York design label L'Objet and Greek jeweller Lito join forces to create magical home accessories that invite you to look inwards. The surreal collection revolves around the eye as a talisman of luck and protection that dates back over 5000 years. With a fresh perspective, L'Objet and Lito reinterpret the ancient eye motif as the union of two creative souls. Open your eyes to the beauty of the world with L'Objet Lito.
L'Objet and Lito – Connected creative souls
Craft, design, function: L'Objet is the life's work of Elad Yifrach. The Israeli-born cosmopolitan and former interior designer founded his very own design studio in 2004. Under his creative direction, the label marries intercultural designs full of stories with traditional craftsmanship. A global network of masters of their trade produces the home objects in unsurpassed quality. Full of ideas, textures and details, the imaginative home objects meet the highest standards.
Greek jeweller Lito Karakostanogloui creates jewellery as emotional statements. Just like Elad Yifrach, she gathered a plethora of inspirations on her travels that flow into her works. She combines unconventional materials such as gemstones, corals and shells to create her own style between modernism, romanticism, futurism and tradition.
United by their passion for unique handcrafted beauty, Lito and L'Objet create modern home accessories with a mystical appeal. An iconic, realistically painted eye ornament transforms cocktail plates, vide-poches, letter openers and scented candles into practical good luck charms to banish evil and invite love into your home.
The Evil Eye – The Story of L'Objet Lito
For thousands of years, cultures around the globe have believed that a black magic can be inherent in the gaze. This so-called evil eye is a curse that one consciously or unconsciously casts on others simply by looking at them. Every culture and region has a different understanding of the cause and effect of the evil eye. Even more diverse are the methods to protect oneself from it and to cure it. But one symbol unites all beliefs – the eye as a talisman that protects the wearer from the curse.
The L'Objet Lito collection interprets this ancient myth in its own way. The hyper-realistically painted eye ornament moves away from traditional charms and takes on a new meaning. As a sign of introspection, it reminds you to exercise mindfulness, self-realisation and inner balance. Instead of merely warding off evil, it invites love into the home and reminds us to live, create and discover beauty everywhere. L'Objet Lito brings a bit of magic back into modern life – in a way that is unobtrusive and stylish.
Attention to the best materials – The universe of L'Objet Lito
Porcelain, brass, glass, pure gold and radiant colours. The high quality of the Lito collection will catch everyone's eye. The collection's pieces integrate best as individual objects in the room. Vide-poches in the hallway, cocktail plates on the kitchen counter, scented candles in the living room, paperweights in the office, vanity mirrors in the bathroom – every living space gets its talisman.
Surrounded by luminous colour gradients and fine gold rims, the eye motif anchors the Lito cocktail plates in the here and now. The eye stands out vividly, giving it a particularly strong presence.
The Lito vide-poches expand on the eye motif and suggest the rest of a whole face. The oval trays are divided by a painted golden band into two differently coloured areas. Expressionist portrait, organic yin and yang sign, ancient talisman – an ingenious idea full of associations.
Unmissable: The elliptical Lito paperweight sits on your desk like a giant eyeball. Whether humour or horror, the unique porcelain paperweight arouses emotions and remains in the memory.
Modern design object or historical artefact? The Lito bookends look like perfectly preserved objects from ancient Egypt. The black porcelain triangles are reminiscent of ancient temples. The eye ornaments surrounded by rays of gold feel like hieroglyphs. Playful, imaginative, full of positive energy – the quintessence of the Lito collection.
