<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe table\u2019s design reflects the geopolitical situation of the divided city of Jerusalem,\u201d said Tarazi. \u201cWhen the table is closed it emphasises the beauty of the city as a whole consisting of many multi-faceted parts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bars table is made of a series of glass-covered decorative iron bars made using laser cutting technology. These reference the decorative metal lattices that cover doors and windows around Jerusalem.<\/p>\n \u201cThe houses of the Old City, like many public buildings in Jerusalem, commonly have bars across the doors or windows that are embellished with symbolic ornamentation, decorations, and texts with different meanings,\u201d said the designer. \u201cDifferent styles side by side in a single building provide evidence of the range of cultures in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n The black oxidised-iron Gush Bloc table is a geometric abstraction of the map. The base is narrower than the top, and despite its solid appearance, the table weighs just 15 kilograms.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the table is viewed from below, it seems to be in an upward thrust, from the earthly level of the city to its heavenly level \u2013 a visual depiction of the \u2018Heavenly Jerusalem\u2019,\u201d said Tarazi.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
