Groucho founder makes marks on tennis court

Minor brushes with celebrity, number 2461: we once played tennis with Tchaik Chassay – architect, Groucho Club founder and sugar daddy to hot design duo Eskimo Design (see 100% Design feature, page 20). His accent was so clipped and posh we thought he was saying Jack, instead of Tchaik, when he introduced himself. Can you tell that we didn’t know who he was? Never mind. Tchaik and the Design Week hack did actually win the match 6-3, 6-4, as we recall.
