In 2023, Objekto is celebrating its 19th anniversary. Though it is one of the leading new French manufacturers, one that has shaken up the creative world, this maker has remained unshakeably true to its original intentions: to select and manufacture objects by creators rather than designers. Items that possess added emotional value, made to withstand the passage of time and the fickleness of fashion.
In nineteen years, Objekto has formed a collection of truly timeless pieces. This alone proves the pertinence of the choices made collectively by the brand’s three founders: Guillaume Leman, Benoît Halbronn and his brother, Matthieu Halbronn.
These “object hunters” continue to travel to the four corners of the earth seeking exceptional discoveries, but also to deepen the relations established with the creators who contributed to their international success.
Today distributed by a network of more than 200 resellers worldwide, Objekto generates 60% of its sales outside the European Union.
A COLLECTOR’S COLLECTION
Objekto has created a collection of long-standing successes and bestsellers.
Remaining on the sidelines of frenzied trends, the brand has always sought out creations with strong identities which, for the most part, are not the works of designers, but of architects, cabinetmakers, artists, graphic designers or engineers. Creative spirits with a different perspective on objects, who envision them with long life and lasting use in mind.
This legacy-oriented approach combines the poetics of line with quality of use and materials, all consummated in the creation of timeless archetypes: a universalism found in the maker’s very name, Objekto, meaning “object” in Esperanto.
A SELECTIVE MANUFACTURER
Objekto has worked for eighteen years with the same network of artisans and European companies, giving the manufacture control over every product, down to every detail.
Steel that is cast specifically to create exclusive shades and dimensions, woven cotton, custom-tanned leather… each material is unique to Objekto in both finish and craftsmanship, all directly overseen by the brand.
All materials are 100% from Europe. Objekto is focusing on quality, function and comfort with a responsible, sustainable and low environmental impact approach.
SHOWROOM
The company is established in Aix-en-Provence, in front of the Saint Victoire mountain so often painted by Paul Cezanne. It’s in this area that Objekto found a 200 years old stable and decided to restore it in a contemporary way while keeping this old bulding all it’s antic charm. You are welcome, please visit us.
