Broken Chair is a monumental sculpture in wood designed by Swiss artist Daniel Berset, and constructed by carpenter Louis Genève.[1] It is constructed of 5.5 tons of wood and is 12 metres (39 feet) high.[2]
It depicts a giant chair with a broken leg and stands across the street from the Palace of Nations, in Geneva.[3] It symbolises opposition to land mines and cluster bombs, and acts as a reminder to politicians and diplomats visiting Geneva.[4]
