Bench of Ferdinand Vaněk, Public art sculpture in Dejvice, Czech Republic
The metallic bench featuring a beer keg design stands in front of the National Technical Library on Technická Street in Prague.
The bench was installed on December 18, 2017, marking six years since the passing of Václav Havel, former president of Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic.
The sculpture references Ferdinand Vaněk, a character from Havel's play Audience, who worked in a brewery, reflecting Havel's own experiences.
The bench serves both as a functional seating area and an art installation, maintained by the Prague 6 district administration.
The steel structure incorporates a quote from the play Audience stating 'I cannot participate in a practice with which I disagree.'
