steel constructions documented by photographer who put out. now are you sitting comfortably on a couch an arm chair or maybe a stool and how does that make you feel because chez can be much more than just a piece of furniture for instance they can be an expression of power the bigger the office chair the bigger the boss a mantra that would also apply to thrones the vittra design museum in the southwestern corner of germany examined the correlation between seats and rulers the exhibition takes us from the historical journey of seating from the thrones of egyptian pharaohs to the modern day office chair. sitting down and yet standing above everyone else throne makes it possible. for thousands of years it's in body the power of the few. and

that's not all. research suggests the very first chair in the archetype of film that we know today like this one with four legs a seat in a back rest really came into being as a throne for the egyptian pharaoh. hangs a should know she's behind the exhibition at the vittra design museum in vial i'm right in southwestern germany. this exhibit shows gonzalo from mozambique with his throne made out of scrap guy. villains take their place here. holy men here. is coming for sure i can imagine that the design actually had to be developed quite

quickly and that's why this finished office chair would have been used. when pope john paul the second visited croatia in one thousand nine hundred four of detroit office chair was used as the basis of his papal chair. as a you hire the backrest and i wanted to say to the move all you know and the whole presence the seated person hands in the room. higher back more power not in the berlin chancellor. angela merkel has avoided such an obvious simple even though her aluminum chair does come with an optional high backrest. and here is another chair that the chancellor has sat on next. to christine lagarde any banker trump at the women's summit last year. on the mind on some say you can see that the women were sitting on a comfortably on it and didn't know where to put their legs and he was hard.

on the other hand i think the symbolism is clear this little that here a powerful women sitting on a chair designed by a woman i know and was fun i know for all. our people there for me to pay attention to where they sit in the next dial away in chair by danish designer on a young. imposing what should also be a symbol of power and saying it's all good doctors none. of us do you can put several chairs together in a group and when they're all looking at each other they almost form a room within a room. isolating themselves from their surroundings. so that's leaking from. the hearings or those who are in the group still in the room but on the other hand they really excluding everyone else.

so you can divide and conquer with a win chair. panzers exhibition of the seats of power is aimed to do just that to point the spotlight on the throne masquerading as a plain old chair. and these are i'd say that it really does matter which chair you see it on or how you see it or not or where the chair is you're always sending a message. and message. something that's been true for thousands of years. let's get the latest news from around europe now in the express we had to london and i'm so down but first up we're in paris where christmas season has begun. fashion designer karl lagerfeld rang in the holiday season in paris on thursday together with merrill on gold chanel head designer switched on the festive lighting

a critical eye. at risk up there this is fresh it's got that you can see that it has just been caught it made. you can see because its claws are moving . but. one of the craps cook in boiling water. starts preparing the ribbon pastor known as . he adds an egg and a pinch of salt to one hundred grams of flour and mixes them well. then he needs them flattens the mixture until it forms an elastic and tear resistant oh. yes its language you make pastry. i'm a bit idiosyncratic your when i prepare a dish it's almost as if i'm composing music there's a lot of creativity and passion involved and it'll be that way until i die that'll

never change save. up to fifteen minutes the crap is ready and the meat can be carefully removed from the shell first. taste some diced onions in olive oil and a dash of prozac. then he asked the crab meat and some cherry tomatoes before letting the mixture simmer over a low heat for five minutes. the timing must be just right for it to the gallop that typical barrage of taste. in the gastronomy of burano was influenced by the orient the result is fairly simple dishes which are prepared in a very sophisticated way for me it's also a very important took over resident. because they really know the taste of the aisle. when they come to me they don't order off the menu they simply say make something for us. fight there.

the man behind the shadows is been some he calls them shadow doodles ideally he works in his office on a sunny day all it takes is the right light and some imagination. the thing is to not expect anything to just look at the shadows see if there is a shape that i recognize because if i want to have a specific idea in mind in the beginning it doesn't work i have to be very open minded very relaxed it's really like playing. and that playing has produced some one thousand drawings to date which he posts on social media. his creations have a following of around four hundred forty thousand people on instagram. one of his most popular pictures is contrary to the piano.

linson bell is a filmmaker by trade a profession that often involves patients and long term planning but as a man with ideas he creates art from all manner of items. this might be interesting to do something with because i like the objects i like the color and it's nice that you can see trued little bit which might give interesting shadows and the fact that these doors opening. why give interesting possibilities. when the sun's rays are too weak for shadows he draws the curtains and sets up his own of light two lamps providing different options for his car to interactions. i'm always surprised myself what comes out of the shadows. this work is

a unique breed around two hundred twenty karni da wild ponies live in the mountains which share their name in north wales. for most of the year the horses are left to roam free. but each november local farmers and villagers get together to round up the ponies in a bid to preserve them. this is a sick pack. of these ponies with every single mountain in wales a few hundred years ago but now this is their last stronghold this is the last you know place. once a year the ponies are rounded up and the young stallions are removed to prevent inbreeding. baldwin jones has taken part in the annual roundup since he was ten he's even taken in a few stallions himself to children writing schools conservation you know the place like. how to get home and we need more and more people to come forward
