Falcon By Tom Claassen

Claassen has unveiled ‘Falcon’, also known as ‘Saqr’ in Arabic, which is an abstract representation of Qatar’s national bird. Taking inspiration from the falcon’s soft feathers, the vivid outline of the bird mimics the aviation routes from Qatar to the rest of the world. These curves are also derived from Arabic calligraphy and the folds found in the fabric of traditional Qatari attire. The falcon sits on a ledge facing the Departures Hall, exuding royalty with its gold finish.
