DOHA Festival City continues to deliver on the commitment to bring visitors a world class shopping experience, and delight customers with the installation of its first art piece. Created by visionary artist and sculptor, David Harber, the bespoke 'Sculpted Torus' is the pride of place in the Mall's Centre Court.
The impressive sculpture, four metres in diameter, will wow guests visiting the Mall when it opens on April 5, 2017.
The piece is an adaptation of David Harber Ltd's iconic 'Torus' and is part of a series of five variations that will be installed at Doha Festival City. The 'Sculpted Torus' is made from mirror-polished, marine grade stainless steel and will sit alongside a succession of smaller, 2m Torus all of which will be slight variations of the original design.
Trevor Hill, General Manager, Doha Festival City, said,"We are delighted to have collaborated with a renowned artist like David, and excited to be bringing his art to Qatar for the first time showcasing his talent. Doha Festival City is more than just a shopping destination, it is a place where visitors will be able to take advantage of a huge variety of entertainment, retail and dining, in addition to premium design art concepts which are big, bold and have the wow factor, just like our Mall."
Harber is also producing a 4m bronze 'Keystone Ring' with a Verdigris finish to be located outside one of the main entrances to Doha Festival City Mall, and is currently designing some hanging 'tree canopies' to be placed in the two glass atria of the North Food Court.
The installation of the sculptures forms part of the finishing touches to the Mall, as Doha Festival City prepares to open next month. (TNN)
