Gohar, Laila
New York-based artist Laila Gohar uses food as a means of telling stories. Together with HAY, she has designed a collection of tableware and kitchen accessories that celebrates the joy of hosting – from sourcing ingredients, to cooking, setting the table, and finally sitting down and enjoying the people around the table. The collection is called ‘Sobremesa’, which is the Spanish tradition of “relaxing and enjoying idle moments and each other’s company at the end of the meal.”
Laila Gohar is a conceptual artist and chef who works with food as her artistic medium. Gohar was born in Egypt, where she grew up in a large family of passionate cooks and hosts. She is now based in New York City, where she works internationally, and is known for her highprofile collaborations across art, design and fashion.
Laila Gohar designs unique eating experiences that take place in untraditional settings all over the world.
