Парочка, которую вы видите на заглавной фотографии, - одногодки, друзья и партнеры, датские архитекторы Флемминг Лассен (на стуле своего кумира и вдохновителя, Миса ван дер Роэ) и Арне Якобсен (на шезлонге собственного сочинения). Шезлонг этот был создан в 1929 г., когда Якобсен изучал возможности использования ротанга, чтобы сделать деревянную мебель менее массивной и тяжеловесной. С этой работой в том же году архитектор принял участие в конкурсе, объявленном датским обществом лозоплетельщиков. Первые модели шезлонга изготавливались методом густого (или сплошного) плетения, а в дальнейшем Якобсен прибег к бамбуковому стеблю, чтобы сделать кресло более воздушным.

Из-за ошибочного мнения о том, что шезлонг был представлен на той самой Парижской выставке 1925 г. и даже был удостоен на ней серебряной медали (Якобсен действительно участвовал в упомянутой выставке и был премирован, только совсем за другой стул), кресло получило название «Париж», под которым производится и по сей день. Ну, а мы по пятничной традиции предложим желающим неторопливо рассмотреть это кресло и ответить, какое шутливое прозвище изначально дал своей работе Якобсен?

The opening picture shows two prominent Danish architects who were also exact contemporaries and partners, Flemming Lassen (the one in an MR chair designed by Mies van der Rohe, Lassen’s look-up-to) and Arne Jacobsen (the one in the wicker chaise of his own design). The wicker chair was created in 1929 as Jacobsen was exploring the use of rattan for furniture-making as a lighter alternative to wood traditionally used by Danish cabinetmakers. The chair was submitted for a competition organized by the Danish Basket Weavers’ Association the same year. Unlike the earlier examples of this lounger that featured dense wickerwork, later pieces were made of spaced-out bamboo strips and had a lace-like appearance.

Because of an erroneous belief that this chaise was displayed at the 1925 Paris Exhibition and even earned Jacobsen a silver medal (the architect was indeed awarded a silver medal, but for a different chair design), the chair is now known and commercially available as the Paris Chair. Since it’s Friday today and time for our traditional quiz, we’re inviting anyone willing to guess the original nickname of this design without googling.

As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." The company maintains that it cannot act against individual or group chats, which are “private amongst their participants,” but it will respond to requests in relation to sticker sets, channels and bots which are publicly available. During the invasion of Ukraine, Pavel Durov has wrestled with this issue a lot more prominently than he has before. Channels like Donbass Insider and Bellum Acta, as reported by Foreign Policy, started pumping out pro-Russian propaganda as the invasion began. So much so that the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council issued a statement labeling which accounts are Russian-backed. Ukrainian officials, in potential violation of the Geneva Convention, have shared imagery of dead and captured Russian soldiers on the platform.
