Nathalie Khayat at FAMM Mougins
june, 2024 - Mougins, Cote d'Azur, France
A proud moment for Lebanese ceramist Nathalie Khayat, whose work is now part of the permanent collection at FAMM Mougins. House of Today launched The Salt Collection in 2022, exploring the sculptural dimensions of functional objects—each piece a fusion of form and nature. Now, her work stands alongside iconic female artists, marking a milestone in her artistic journey.
A wonderful day in Mougins celebrating Lebanese ceramist Nathalie Khayat, whose work has been acquired by FAMM (Femmes Artistes Musée Mougins), a museum dedicated to showcasing female artists and reshaping art history.
House of Today launched The Salt Collection in 2022 at Frieze Los Angeles, curated by Cherine Magrabi. The collection, inspired by organic sculptural forms, captured the attention of collectors, galleries, and institutions. Each piece emerged through an intuitive process—layering, peeling, and molding clay to fuse contrasting elements, evoking a sense of discovery and transformation.
Today, Nathalie’s work sits alongside renowned artists like Tracey Emin, Marina Abramović, and Tatiana Trouvé, cementing her place in the wider artistic dialogue. We are honored to have witnessed this journey from concept to museum recognition.
