kasper salto & thomas sigsgaard, who make up the design duo salto & sigsgaard, entered the winning bid in a 2011 design competition to partially refurbish the interior of the trusteeship council chamber (also known as the finn juhl chamber) at the un headquarters in new york. The chamber has been repurposed multiple times and it is today the most heavily used, in which all un members are represented. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
