The Vaclav Havel Bench, Vaclav Havel's Place
The President of Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Milos Vystrcil unveiled the bench of dissident turned president Vaclav Havel (1936-2011), designed by architect and his friend Borek Sipek, in Jihlava, Vysocina Region, Czech Republic, on Friday, August 21, 2020. The world's 38th Vaclav Havel Bench, commemorating the first Czechoslovak post-Communist President Vaclav Havel, was unveiled as a place serving to have a rest. Similar Havel's Places exist in Washington, Dublin and Barcelona. Architect, designer and Havel's friend Borek Sipek created a public artifact inspired by Havel's personality and democratic ideals. He designed two garden armchairs and a round table by a lime tree, the national tree of the Czech Republic, growing in the middle. (CTK Photo/Lubos Pavlicek)
