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.

It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. In the past, it was noticed that through bulk SMSes, investors were induced to invest in or purchase the stocks of certain listed companies. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations.
