За свою вековую историю консольный стул претерпел множество трансформаций, а уж его вариации с подлокотниками и подавно. Каких только решений не придумывали дизайнеры, чтобы подлокотники выглядели органичным и изящным продолжением консольной конструкции (в качестве аперитива загляните в комментарии - там вас ждет несколько наиболее известных и примечательных моделей). Особенно в этом преуспел выдающийся чешский дизайнер Йиндржих Халабала, известный многим по легендарному креслу H-269. В 1930-х гг., будучи главным дизайнером мебельной фабрики «UP Závody» в Брно, он вдохновился работами Марта Стама и Марселя Брейера и другими предметами из стальных трубок, проникшими в мебельный дизайн благодаря Баухаусу, и представил несколько собственных вариантов консольного стула, в том числе двойной консольный (!).

Подлокотники в моделях Халабалы выполняют важную конструктивную задачу: сворачивая стальные трубы в бараний рог, дизайнер таким образом отказывался от традиционных для консольного стула передних ножек. Вот как он объяснял свой подход: «Ранние модели обеспечивали амортизацию сиденья только в задней части стула. Конструкция моих кресел такова, что и передняя, и задняя половины сиденья имеют одинаковые амортизационные свойства, а сидящий не испытывает ощущения, что он вот-вот упадет, характерного для прежних моделей, у которых пружинила только задняя часть сиденья».

The history of the cantilevered chair, which spans over a hundred years, has seen lots of twists and turns some of which revolved around the armrests. There were countless examples of different designs that aimed to integrate armrests into a cantilever structure in an organic and elegant way – take a look at just a handful of such chairs that we find especially noteworthy and are posting in the comments below. A remarkable breakthrough came thanks to Jindrich Halabala, a celebrated Czech designer most of you know because of the iconic H-269 chair. In the 1930s, Halabala was the head of design at UP Závody, a leading Czech furniture-maker in Brno. Inspired by the works of Mart Stam and Marcel Breuer as well as other tubular steel products commonly associated with Bauhaus, he came up with a few cantilevered chair designs of his own, including a double-cantilever chair.

As a rule, armrests in Halabala’s chairs were structural as much as functional. Bending tubular steel into coils and single curved lines, Halabala was able to get rid of the front legs altogether. Here’s how he explained his rationale behind these intricate designs, “In the earlier models, the flexibility was one-sided. With these chairs, the design is chosen so that the chairs have the same range of backward and forward flexibility. This avoids the falling sensation that one felt with backward springing chairs.”

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

Date: |

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.
