The creative visionary behind luxury decorative accessories label L’Objet shares his summer inspirations.
“I love flowers all year round and often use spectacular floral arrangements in my table dressings. During summer, I love orchids displayed in glass domes with the roots exposed in the base, creating a ‘botanical curiosity’. A tightly tied arrangement of roses is always beautiful too. Flowers bring such freshness and renewal to our lives and homes. It is the one small thing you can constantly keep changing to create an impact in any space.”

“I love mixing white dinnerware with a colourful napkin ring. You can never go wrong with a playful table accent. I love to mix fresh herbs and flowers for a beautiful and fragrant centrepiece. To enhance the mood of a dinner party, you need candles and the perfect playlist.”
“This year, I’m super-excited about summer in the Hamptons – we opened our first standalone store there in May. We’ve stocked it with an exquisite selection that provides everything needed for beautiful summer lifestyle and entertaining.”
“We all use colour as a way to express life and emotions and as such it can be a very evocative way of bringing back memories and creating associations with different moods. I personally have a fondness for gold as it has limitless visual potential and is the most ancient and universal precious element.”
“Mediterranean summers always remind me of my childhood. I grew up in the Med so it is a big part of me and inspires many of my collections. I love the contrasts – the incomparable blue of the water, the rugged landscapes, the dramatic history and culture, as well as the spirit and grace of the diverse people who live around it.”
“Celebrate the summer by introducing one big, oversized statement piece. Over-scaled art, cashmere throws or fresh flowers are my go-to choices. I pair a lit candle with large books for my coffee table.”
“Our classic Pink Champagne candle is fresh, flowery and has subtle marine notes – it’s perfect for summer entertaining.”
“Yoga is a big part of my life and I make sure to practice daily. I was first introduced to yoga in 2004 by a friend of mine, just before I launched L’Objet. I really felt I needed something to ground me through the pressure of starting a business and help me understand my body and what it needs – yoga has given me both of these realisations. I now practice Kundalini and aerial yoga and have qualified as a Kundalini instructor so I can practice wherever I am in the world.”
