The Vaclav Havel Bench, Vaclav Havel's Place
The Jihlava Mayor Karolina Koubova, left, and President of Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Milos Vystrcil (second from right) enveiled 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)
