An evening of art, design, and heritage at Maison de l’Artisan, celebrating @fou.khar journey and the 2026 Impact Award from the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris @institutdumondearabe .
The evening marked the unveiling of LAMMÉ, my latest creation, a contemporary interpretation of the Lebanese mezze table. A sculptural dialogue between terracotta, handcrafted in Beit Chabeb, and hand-hammered brass from Tripoli. Two materials, two traditions, brought together through a shared language of craftsmanship, design, and gathering.
Grateful to Maison de l’Artisan @maisondelartisanlb , especially @sameralameen ,pecial thanks to @francesco_an03 for beautifully capturing the evening, and everyone who shared this moment.
From heritage to innovation. From Beit Chabeb to the world, and back to Beit Chabeb, where it all began.

🏺Carrying the Legacy of Pottery in Beit Chabab🏺
I’m honored to continue the pottery tradition that has been passed down through generations from my grandfather, to his father, and many before them. Beit Chabab was once home to 40 families who practiced pottery, with over 300 craftsmen shaping the clay and telling stories through their hands.
Today, I stand as the last of the original potters, but I will definitely not be the last to carry this craft forward. With my company, Foukhar @fou.khar , I am committed to protecting this traditional art while also giving it a modern twist, blending history with innovation to create something unique. The tradition is alive, and it will continue to evolve, keeping both the past and the future in mind. 🏺

LA MAISON DE L’ARTISAN
Lebanese craftsmanship, from village workshops to contemporary design.
Created in 1963, La Maison de l’Artisan brought together craftspeople from villages across Lebanon, giving their work a showcase in the capital.
Its first exhibition opened in 1968 in Ain el-Mreisseh, in a building designed by Lebanese architects Pierre Neema and Jacques Aractingi and engineer Joseph Nassar, in collaboration with French architect Jean-Noël Conan.
The architecture combines modern construction with regional traditions. Its curved, glazed façade features tall pointed arches and geometric window divisions, crowned by a rooftop balustrade. Inside, columns branch into sweeping ribs across the ceiling. Pale stone floors and tall windows frame domestic displays of woven furniture, embroidered linens, metal lamps, glassware and pottery.
Set on fire during the civil war, the building remained closed for years before reopening in 2000 under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Affairs, welcoming hundreds of artisans from across Lebanon.
Today, its collection of pottery, textiles, glassware, metalwork and furniture reflects the range of Lebanese craftsmanship and its continuing development.
Among the creations presented is Lammé by Christopher Ghoussoub, founder of the Fou-Khar atelier in Beit Chabeb. Ghoussoub has helped revive the village’s pottery tradition, carrying forward the knowledge associated with the late master potter Fawzi Fakhouri.
Winner of the 2026 Impact Award at the Institut du monde arabe Design Prize in Paris, Ghoussoub combines hand-hammered brass from Tripoli with terracotta supports from Beit Chabeb in Lammé. Named after the Lebanese gathering, the table brings two regional crafts into one contemporary design.
La Maison de l’Artisan continues its founding mission: supporting artisans, connecting them with new audiences and giving Lebanese craftsmanship a place in contemporary homes.

قدمت الدولة اللبنانية ممثلة بوزارة السياحة وعاء فخارياً (يعرف بالدقوجي) إلى متحف Fao في روما.
هذا الإناء الذي كان يستعمل في المنازل اللبنانية لتخزين الحبوب والزيتون والألبان يجسد جزءا من التراث الثقافي للحياة الريفية اللبنانية. القطعة المقدمة كانت صممت يدوياً عام ١٩٦٠ من قبل عائلة غصوب التي ما زالت تعمل لتحافظ على هذه التقاليد في محترف بيت شباب.
وتأتي هذه المبادرة ضمن التبادل والتعاون المستمر بين لبنان وإيطاليا.
وزارة السياحة تتوجه بالشكر الخاص إلى شركتي DHL و WAKILNI لتقديم خدمات الشحن مجاناً.
The Lebanese state, represented by the Ministry of Tourism, has presented a pottery vessel (known as the Dakouji) to the FAO Museum in Rome.
This jar, traditionally used in Lebanese households to store grains, olives, and dairy products, embodies an important part of the cultural heritage of rural Lebanese life. The piece donated was handcrafted in 1960 by the Ghousoub family, who continue to preserve this artisanal tradition in their workshop in Beit Chabab.
This initiative comes as part of the ongoing exchange and cooperation between Lebanon and Italy.
The Ministry of Tourism extends its special thanks to DHL and WAKILNI for generously providing free shipping services.

What started as a fun clay workshop turned into two hours of unexpected therapy 🧘♀️
I made two completely different pieces, got clay everywhere, and somehow poured my whole heart into both 😂
$30 per person ,includes all materials, 2 different objects, firing, and honestly... a full mental reset.
The workshop is led by Christopher, a young artist who’s super passionate, patient, and genuinely makes you feel at ease while creating. His vibe made the whole thing even better 👌
Tag someone you’d take to this kind of therapy session 🎨🫶

Christopher Ghoussoub is young, curious, proud, and passionate about his craft. Coming from a long line of potters from Beit Chabab, he takes great pride in his village’s and family’s legacy. He vividly recalls watching the renowned Fawzi Fakhoury at work—famous for his large jars—and being inspired by the last potter skilled in crafting them. Today, Christopher is dedicated to reviving this traditional craft, working with the old-fashioned foot-pedaled wheel and authentic tools. At the same time, he experiments freely—exploring moulds, hand-building, and wheel-throwing—to create sculptures, modern kitchenware and everyday items that blend tradition with innovation.
