Flying carpet, sofa or art installation? ‘East meets West’ by Tonio de Roover begs the question.
In a visual sense, the sofa appears to be the perfect statement piece for ones home but you will be disappointed to know it is a sculptural object definitely not designed for sitting.
To Roover, ‘East meets West’ is a representation of the idea of a magic carpet rising from the East and finding its way to the West. Further demonstrated by the modern aesthetic and materials used.
Why Does Team Diana Kotb love East meets West?
Not only were we instantly captivated by its beauty, but the piece connects personally to many muslims born and bred in Western countries. It exemplifies the perfect balance between our community and our heritage harmoniously intertwined. A concept that the Diana Kotb Team never looses sight of.
