Broken Chair | United Nations - Geneva office

Postcard
Visible from the Palace of Nations’ “ambassadors' court”, Broken Chair stands in delicate balance on three legs – the fourth having been violently blown off as if by an explosive charge. A way of showing that even mutilated, victims of war violence are still standing tall, with dignity.

This 12 metres high monumental sculpture, designed by Swiss artist Daniel Berset, is made of 5.5 tons of Douglas fir wood.
