The Spectacle bench
Get a view of wild on purpose from the blue spectacle bench in Havnbjerg on the island of Als.
The spectacle-shaped bench was inaugurated in the wild on purpose area at Platanvej in Havnbjerg on 16 May 2025.
Placed on a small elevation, it provides a great view of the wild area and its carvings in the shape of wildlife make the bench an experience in itself for children.
Wild on Purpose is a form of nature restoration where green urban areas are transformed from trimmed lawns and flower beds to flower areas where biodiversity is the focus.
The bench is the last work of art by local painter and sculptor Vibeke Fonnesberg (1946-2024), which was completed after her death by her son Johannes Lautrup Fonnesberg, thanks to her extensive preparatory work and conversations during her last days in hospital.
