Giant Chair and Desk

Obrada drveta u Virovitici ima dugu tradiciju, a prvi industrijski pogon otvoren je 1913. godine. U početku je to bila pilana za eksploataciju drveta s obližnje Bilogore, a kasnije se uvodi proizvodnja namještaja i klompi. Danas je drveni uredski namještaj jedan od zaštitnih znakova grada Virovitice.

Kao trajni podsjetnik na ovu industrijsku granu i na tisuće Virovitičana koji su njoj radili svoj čitav radni vijek, sredinom 1990-tih postavljena je drvena instalacija. Smještena je u malom parku u blizini Crkve sv. Roka, a predstavlja stilizirani stol i stolac. Nekada se stolac, poput pravih uredskih, mogao okretati pomoću užadi, ali zub vremena je to s vremenom onemogućio.

Giant Chair and Desk

Wood working in Virovitica has a long tradition, and the first industrial plant was opened in 1913. In the beginning it was a sawmill for the exploitation of wood from a nearby Bilogora hills. After WWII the production of furniture and clogs was introduced. Today, the wooden office furniture is one of the trademarks of Virovitica.

As a permanent reminder of this industry and the thousands of citizens of Virovitica who dedicated their entire working life the wooden installation is set in the mid-1990s . It is located in a small park near the Church of St. Rocco, and represents a stylized table and chair. Once the chair, like a real office one, could be turned by the ropes, but the ravages of time made it impossible.
