PANGEA

Millions of years ago, the world was a single continent. This supercontinent called Pangea inspired Turkish Airlines to create a new vision of a world where continents, people and emotions reconnect.

Even though millions of years have passed since the Pangea era, when the world was a united whole, to today’s world, where the continents have separated and changed, and in spite of all the stories the world has heard and told, the essence of mankind is still the same: Our need to come together, unite and understand one another in spite of the differences that separate us and over which we have no control.

Turkish Airlines connects more countries than any other airline through its hub in Istanbul, the meeting point of continents, bringing together those separated by long distances with its unrivaled flight network. This unifying force connects people, cultures and countries, holding out the promise of a new Pangea experience for the modern world.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 has attracted a lot of attention to Qatar and many boutiques have opened in the country in the past months. One of the newest is FENDI in the North Node Central Concourse, the latest expansion of the Hamad International Airport. Designed by the brand’s internal architecture department, it embraces the FENDI universe, drawing inspiration from timeless Roman architectural elements. The 220sq/m store features a wide selection of women’s and men’s collections. A futuristic LED backdrop installation is there temporarily and will be replaced by a sculptural fountain composed of alternating silver metal columns and 7,500 crafted glass disks, internally illuminated to emulate the fluidity of water flowing. The sculpture will provide a special place for the Qatar-exclusive items that will be exhibited around the fountain. From March 2023, the second floor will feature the first permanent FENDI Cafe globally. Currently, the FENDI Cafe can be found a few steps from the boutique as a temporary installation.
