Halabi highlights the placemat as the signature piece in her dinner table collection. Foundational to a set table and the experience of a shared meal, Halabi’s placemat is an expression of her sculptural practice in design form. Taking inspiration from floral shapes, Halabi achieves an incredible delicacy in a metal medium. Making use of open spaces within the design, Halabi injects airiness into the heaviness of the bronze and through this opposition, explores the duality of construction and deconstruction. Casted in bronze, the medium Halabi is most known for in her artistic practice, she unifies the history of the material and its dual applications in both creative and functional contexts to a set table and the experience of a shared meal, Halabi’s placemat is an expression of her sculptural practice in design form.
