An unusual gift idea? An original decor idea? The cinema clapper. The clapperboard is a symbolic object of cinema. It was already used in the silent movies, and its name originates from tap dancers. Even if today the professional claps have become digital, the black wooden clapper remains associated with the cinema and has become a beautiful object of decoration.

The clap announces with its particular noise the start of the shooting. The tap is shown briefly in front of the camera at the start of each recording to identify the shots and to number the scene. These are benchmarks to facilitate the synchronization of sound and image during editing. This nice clapper is an original idea to decorate your dining room or your bedroom. You can put it on a piece of furniture or hang it on the wall. A fantastic idea to give to a movie buff or a teenager who loves science fiction or action movies.

An essential accessory to animate an event on the theme of cinema or to make your own videos. It adds a fun touch to your shots. The clapperboard is in black wood. As with a real shoot, fill in the boxes with chalk with the name of the director, the title of the film, the camera used and the number of the scene. A fun and playful gift on the occasion of a birthday.

The ancestor of chess , chaturanga ("game of four kings"), was played on 8 × 8 = 64 squares, between four opponents who each played for themselves and had a boat, a horse, an elephant, a king and four pawns. Each player took turns to play, with the roll of the dice indicating the piece to be moved and the choice of square left to the player's discretion. A few years later, the dice (and therefore the use of chance) were removed, the players were paired up and placed their pieces side by side, and finally the direction of each game was entrusted to a single player. Thus constituted, the game of chess will spread in three directions: in China, then in Korea and finally in Japan, where it will give birth to slightly different games; much later (13th century? ) to Russia (either through the Mongols or the Tartars, or through the Byzantine Empire), from where it will go back to Scandinavia, Germany and Scotland; and finally to Iran, where it will be brought by merchants and will take the name of shatranj: it will be adopted by the Arabs, who, after having conquered Iran, will spread the game of chess on the north coast of Africa and will introduce it in Spain. The game then spread throughout Christendom, and Arab manuscripts were followed by European ones.

How to combine mismatched cushions? 12. Limit the number of mixed cushions. Obviously, the more cushions you mix, the greater the risk of a bad combination! You can limit this risk by limiting yourself to three cushions, for example: one cushion with a small pattern, one cushion with a large pattern and one plain cushion with a particular colour theme. 13. Without resorting to monochrome or cameo, it is possible to harmonise mismatched cushions with colour. How can this be done? By choosing fabrics of the same shade. Dark only, 100% light or pure pastel, a common colour intensity is enough to unite mixed patterns! 14. Use plain cushions to combine mismatched cushions. We don't think plain is necessarily the same as monochrome. To achieve a successful mix of mismatched cushions, you can easily reduce the number of prints: you combine different colours in a theme and place a single matching pattern in the middle. 15. Match the textures of the different cushions. Choose them all in the same or similar material. Choose cushions in leather, fur, velvet, knitwear, lace, and have a family of colours, different sizes, etc. 16. Contrast mismatched cushions with the seat. Mix and match, as long as the intensity of the cushions contrasts with their support. For example: light cushions on a midnight blue armchair, dark cushions on white bed linen!
