Elsa Peretti’s iconic Bean design is a symbol of life’s origins. A beautifully humble form, the bean’s simple shape, natural contours and smoothness always appealed to her. The sculptural, organic collection captures her signature talent for creating irresistibly tactile objects that remind us of the beauty inherent in nature. Peretti’s colourful lacquer Bean designs are handcrafted in Japan using ancient techniques. The 70-step process requires carving Japanese hardwood, called katsura, and applying multiple layers of lacquer to gleaming perfection.
