Doha
The St Regis Doha has installed three new giant Oryx sculptures designed by Ellen Hlavata and engineered by the internationally renowned Foibos Design Lab; a group of artisans and metal craftsmen who employ high-end technology expertise.
Each of the stainless steel sculptures weigh more than 12-tonnes and stand 14m-high. The sculptures were designed using the latest cutting edge technologies and coated using a chemical element ‘Molybdenum’, that is capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of the region.
“Depicting the national animal of Qatar, these three sculptures stand as artistic reminders of the importance of preserving the country’s rich culture and heritage,” St Regis Doha said in a statement.
