Nobel Peace Price Chair by Tino Seubert 04 - The Sketch

Remember my post The Chair and The Nobel Price with The Empty Chair which was reserved for Liu Xiaobo who could not attend the ceremony, because he was detained by the Chines government?

The occasion has inspired young German designer Tino Seubert to design a Nobel Peace Price Chair. A nice one, I would say.

Tino Seubert was born on December 29, 1986 in Forchheim, a suburb of Nuremberg in Germany. He went to Bolzano (Italy) to study design. In Paris he spent a year doing graphic design and he worked there for a Gallery.

Memorial Chair
In this post about Hokitika Beach I found this memorial chair. A poetic thought to have a chair in memoriam of you beloved. Especially when it looks out over the sea…

A good reason to introduce a memorial category here.
