Eternal Tenderness
The bench that Lukáš Rittstein created for Liberec is called Eternal Tenderness. Three tram seats are imprinted into round mass that brings to mind some soft organic shape. The tram seats point out to its location, that is near the tram stop Soukenné náměstí.

– not available –Such a poetic name, not to mention the passion that this work evokes. The people of Liberec call it all sorts of things - "hot dog " is a common and fairly affectionate term. The artist, Lukáš Rittstein, compares this golden mass to a cetacean washed up on the shore, clinging to the tree trunk as the soul clings to its existence. While the sculpture is supposed to express the vulnerability and nostalgia of the vanishing wilderness, you can also take a seat on it and draw a drop, as it were, of all-encompassing, reconciliatory, perhaps even Buddhist energy.
