This week’s submission was from krenek.
The Broken Chair is a monumental wooden sculpture in Geneva, Switzerland, designed by Swiss artist Daniel Berset and constructed by Louis Genève. Standing 12 meters tall and weighing 5.5 tons, it depicts a giant chair with a broken leg and is located across from the Palace of Nations.
Originally installed in 1997 by Handicap International, the sculpture was meant to last only three months to encourage nations to sign the Ottawa Treaty, which bans landmines. However, due to strong public support, it remained in place and was later reinstalled in 2007 to advocate for a ban on cluster munitions. Today, it serves as a powerful symbol reminding politicians and diplomats of the devastating impact of landmines and cluster bombs.
