Bateel’s New Location
Sculpted Torus at Doha Festival City Doha Festival City is yet again enthralling its visitors with the installation it’s first art piece. Created by visionary artist and sculptor, David Harber, the bespoke ‘Sculpted Torus’, is now 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. 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 unique Sculpted Torus is made from mirror-polished, marine grade stainless steel and will sit alongside a succession of smaller, two-metre Toruses – all of which will be slight variations of the original design. As with all David Harber sculptures, each of the bespoke Torus commissions for Doha Festival City will be designed and handcrafted in his Oxfordshire workshop, in England. By April 2017, all of the pieces will have made the journey from the British countryside to Qatar. The installation of the sculptures forms part of the finishing touches to the mall, as Doha Festival City prepares to open this month. With over 500 local and international brands and more than 100 places to dine and relax, there will be an unparralled choice of indoor and outdoor entertainment attractions unique to the country. ✤ GO: Visit www.festivalcitydoha.com for more information. 12
