Story
Bernas i Warchles are an inseparable duo of dental dwarfs standing guard at ul. Ksiecia Witolda 49, outside the Platinum dental clinic. Bernas proudly holds a dental implant with a prosthetic crown in one hand, while his partner Warchles grips a pair of dental forceps with the confidence of a seasoned surgeon. Together they form the most fearsome -- yet somehow still adorable -- dental team in all of dwarf-dom. Visitors who approach these tiny bronze dentists often smile (showing off their own teeth), which is exactly what the duo would prescribe.
History & Significance
Bernas i Warchles were installed at ul. Ksiecia Witolda 49, outside the Platinum dental clinic in Wroclaw's Nadodrze district. The pair were commissioned to symbolise the long-standing partnership of two dental specialists. Their names were cleverly derived from the surnames of the clinic's two co-founders: Bernatek Pawel and Warchlewski Andrzej. The two figurines represent the doctors' shared dedication to implantology and dental surgery, brought to life in miniature bronze form as part of Wroclaw's beloved dwarf tradition.
Inspiration
Bernas i Warchles pay tribute to the Platinum dental clinic and its two founding doctors. The names are portmanteaus -- Bernas from Bernatek and Warchles from Warchlewski -- celebrating the partnership between the two dental professionals. The clinic specialises in dental implantology, which explains why Bernas holds an implant with a crown while Warchles wields forceps. Their placement on Nadodrze, one of Wroclaw's most artistically vibrant neighbourhoods, makes them a charming encounter for anyone exploring the colourful streets north of the Old Town.
