Kelly Behun Collaborates with L'Objet for a Sculptural New Line of Tabletop Statement Pieces

AD100 designer Kelly Behun doesn’t cook. But she loves having friends over for some casual bites, especially after the long, pandemic-imposed hiatus. So when Elad Yifrach, founder of home accessories brand L’Objet, asked her to collaborate on a line, she proposed the sort of pieces she’s always after for herself and her clients—vessels and centerpieces that elevate a dining table or kitchen island. “I wanted to simplify the art of entertaining,” says Behun. “You take one of these and you throw some figs or pomegranate or lemon in and it becomes this beautiful composition. But it can also stand on its own, sculpturally.” Crafted by woodworkers in Portugal, the collection includes marquetry lazy Susans (shown), lacquered serving trays inlaid with brass, and playful leaf bowls and platters (also shown) that Yifrach deems perfect for guacamole. “It’s a very pleasing visual and a very pleasing function,” he says. l-objeom
