This collection of furniture highlights Nigel's continued interest in the mixing of materials, the interaction of the human body with design, and the elaboration of traditional design elements into a contemporary context. The Domo collection is distinguished by its elegant and curving lines emphasized by the capriole leg. Here, Nigel reinterprets this design element, transforming this collection into contemporary sculpture."<a href="http://www.cristinagrajalesinc.com/artists/nigel-coates" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0);"> text taken from here...</span></a><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cristina Grajales,</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Inc 10 Greene Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10013</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">-----------------------------</span><br /></p>
