Broken Chair Sculpture
The Broken Chair Sculpture is a large wooden sculpture located in Geneva, Switzerland. Created by artist Daniel Berset in 1997, it stands 12 meters tall and features a giant, oversized chair with one broken leg. The sculpture symbolizes the plight of landmine victims and advocates for a global ban on landmines.
The chair is situated in front of the Palais des Nations, the European headquarters of the United Nations. It serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of war and the importance of peace, drawing attention to humanitarian issues and the need for international cooperation.
