“The client wanted an arabesque panel to decorate the ceiling of a dining room in a private residence. Dr. Mamoun Sakkal added another dimension to the work by creating the pattern using Arabic script. ‘This is a favor from my Lord,’ a traditional phrase for this type of setting, was written in Arabic. Based on the typeface Bustan, designed by Jamal Bustan and Sakkal, the panel formed a star pattern. The design was carved on wood using computer numerical control milling and suspended from the dining room ceiling with backlighting.”
