Havel's Place
Havel's Place is a project of memorial places dedicated to the last president of Czechoslovakia and the first president of the Czech Republic, Václav Havel. The place consists of two garden chairs connected by a round table and a tree usually going through its middle.
==Origins==
The original idea for "Havel's Place" came from the Czech Ambassador to the United States Petr Gandalovič. He invited Bořek Šípek, an architect and designer, to create a piece of public art with President Václav Havel and his democratic views in mind. Šípek had overseen a decade long renovation of Prague Castle interiors as the Head Architect to President Havel in the 1990s and made a number of arte pieces for his close friend. In the documentary revealing former Czech president Václav Havel's private moments, ''Citizen Havel'' (2008), created by Pavel Koutecký and Miroslav Janek, the President noted that he would like people to subconsciously connect his person with Bořek Šípek’s design and art.
Šípek came up with a simple yet creative design symbolising "Democratic Debate" comprising two metal garden chairs connected to a table around a Linden Tree, the national tree of the Czech Republic. His idea was to create a gathering place in a public space to promote dialogue, discussion and freedom of speech. Bořek Šípek called the installation "Democracy Talks" and referred to it as "a place where people can meet and exercise their freedom of speech in a democratic dialogue with others".
Tomáš Halík, a close friend of Havel, in an interview for Czech radio broadcast on 5 October 2013 said about the installation "The bench with the two chairs symbolises the willingness to sit down at a table and talk. That is, in my opinion, another important message left by Václav Havel: Even as people of different opinions, different political beliefs and different religions, it is still immensely important to sit down at a table and talk to one another in search for the truth.”〔Halik's interview for Czech radio station on 5 October 2013. http://www.rozhlas.cz/nabozenstvi/krestanskytydenik/_zprava/halik-je-dobre-ze-je-to-lavicka-a-ne-bronzova-socha--1264792〕
