The Gucci Podcast series dedicated to Vault returns with special episodes celebrating the designers and brands around the world being championed by Gucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele. With the launch of their namesake brand Gohar World, artists and sisters Nadia and Laila Gohar propose a new take on tableware. Merging Nadia's practice as a painter and Laila's use of food as a medium to create unique convivial experiences around the world, the duo conceived the concept in 2020 with the intention of bringing magic to everyday moments. Gohar World is a tableware universe which celebrates time, tradition, craft, and humor. Rather than setting the table, Gohar dresses the table. Both fanciful and functional, their surrealist home objects are future heirlooms designed in New York and made by family-run ateliers. On this episode, Nadia and Laila talk with academic, critic and broadcaster Shahidha Bari about Gohar World and their capsule collection made exclusively for Vault. Discover more about Gucci Vault
