Sobremesa Pot – / Sandstone – Ø 19 X H 17.5 Cm / Hand-painted – Hay

An Egyptian based in New York, the young chef with the extravagant look Laila Gohar offers her unique culinary experiences all over the world. Her dishes, which look like extravagant sculptures, echo the settings in which they are served. Mixing artistic performance and cooking, her immersive culinary experiences blur the lines. Laila Gohar uses food both as an artistic medium and a communication tool. Through her convivial, multisensory “edible events”, she explores the nature of human interactions. In collaboration with Hay, Laila Gohar has developed her first collection of tableware made up of a family of heterogeneous objects intended for preparing and serving meals: bowls, plates, tablecloths, vases, etc. The collection is called ”Sobremesa”, which refers to the Spanish tradition of relaxing around the table at the end of the meal, enjoying the company of your guests. Through this collection, Laila Gohar shares her creative, sensitive and surprising vision of cooking. “Sobremesa” celebrates the joy of hosting – finding ingredients, cooking, setting the table and, finally, sharing precious moments over a wonderful meal with family and friends. Joyous and colourful, the multi-coloured pieces draw their inspiration from different cultures and let you create festive, slightly eccentric tables: a great way to acquire the quirky, trendy atmosphere that characterises Laila Gohar’s cuisine so well. This gorgeous, hand-painted stoneware pot can be used for cooking or table service. It can also be used to store food in the kitchen. It is dishwasher- and oven-safe.
