We are delighted to welcome Frata to the Kulturnest community.
Founded by Melissa Fathallah and Nizar Sarieddine, Frata grew out of a deep attachment to Lebanon and the desire to transform that connection into objects that can be carried, worn, and kept close. Drawing on Lebanese history and material memory, their pieces rework old coins into distinctive jewelry, often combining them with hand-crafted copper or bronze details, pyrite, sea glass, and other elements.
From Lebanese piastre and lira coins bearing the cedar to rare pieces that were minted but never circulated, each creation carries a fragment of the country’s monetary and cultural history while giving it a new form and a new life.
Starting this September, a selection of Frata’s unique pieces will be displayed at Kulturnest, joining the work of our growing community of 280+ artists and creatives.
