Salma Khalife
Hello, I am Salma. And if I had to describe myself in few words, I would say that I am an artist, a graphic designer, and a music and nature lover. I love to build visual brands as much as I like to sit and draw and play on my piano. I’ve been embarking on […]
Negoro-nuri Kendama
A traditional Japanese toy that explores another dimension of play, the more the player uses it. Notorious for being challenging, the purpose is to impale the ball of the toy on the peg, or catch it in one of the 3 cups at the ends of the handle, but that’s easier said than done. Every mistake and every slip contributes to the beauty of the object which doubles as a coffee table centerpiece, inviting more people to play.
Cash Band
A minimalist money clip style wallet that’s versatile and built to outlast. It’s made from a single piece of full grain vegetable-tanned leather, dyed by hand, and riveted or stitched so it can withstand years of everyday use.
Once broken in, it easily fits 6 cards and a wad of cash. Don’t carry cash? You can use the Cash Band as a second quick access card slot.

Post colonialism and the search for identity
Post colonialism and the search for identity brings together nine artists and their works conceived, in order to express the local and international situation of humanity. In their multidisciplinary practice, they look at the displacement and oppression faced by minorities. Post colonialism, the historical period or state of affairs representing the aftermath of Western colonialism is reevaluated by the artists. They intent to reclaim and rethink the history and the status of people subordinated under various forms of imperialism. They express the loss of identity and the infinite search for a belonging. They also explore the kind of dreams, hallucinations and psychological symptoms endured by the affected populations.
Be For Beirut
When Beirut witnessed the devastating explosion, large number of people lost their homes as a consequence.
They didn’t just lose their shelter; they lost their safe place where all their memories lie in its corners.
Attachment kills.
This exactly what happened to our souls when we saw our memories fade into ashes.
Humans get attached to their houses, to certain smells, to specific furniture they had chosen.
In order to save people’s memories or at least part of it, I have initiated a fashion project based on collecting damaged fabric from different demolished areas in Beirut and recycling it.
The fabrics were treated before being sewn and stylized.
