Non-native here. I don't quite follow. How about: "The object is far away from both of us.".
The concept is there, but maybe not as a single word. Sure, it might be convenient to be able to say "The object it broscht!", but it would just be syntactic sugar. Not a new concept.
Same for french coworker. Not a new concept.
"French person",
"Frenchie",
"Cheese eating surrender monkey"
Latter two might be SLIGHTLY inappropriate in a working environment.

In Ukrainian or Russian I just can’t omit this information without descending into soul-crashing legalize of “french person“. The point being —- yes, its possible to say exactly that, but it would either be in a wrong register or too much of words where you could have just one.
