The St. Regis Doha has welcomed three new giant Oryx sculptures designed by Ellen Hlavata and engineered by Foibos Design Lab; a group of artisans and metal craftsmen who employ high-end technology expertise. 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. The sculptures — more than 12-tonnes and 14m-high — were designed using the latest technologies and coated using a chemical element ‘Molybdenum’, that is capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of the region.
