The chair is devoted to a famous book by Russian/Soviet comedians Ilf and Petrov about Ostap Bender, a fraudulent guy who is trying to make money after hearing a rumor that a huge treasure is hidden in one of the 12 chairs of a set. unfortunately, at the USSR times those chairs belonged to an aristocrat and when the Soviet times came, they have been split and put in various locations all around USSR, starting from private owners to orphanages and municipal buildings. nobody knows which chair holds a treasure and whether anybody has discovered it before but Ostap doesn't give up. His trip brings him to Odessa and he now believes the treasure is definitely inside the chair that is in this city. Greed and naivety of Ostap fill the book with humour and social satire at the same time. Queues next to the chair symbolize an important part of the Soviet culture.
