A research line that never fails to surprise distinguishes Nigel Coates. Born in England in 1949, he graduated in Architecture in 1974 in London, where he taught up to 1989. His style is theatrical, starting with the publication of the NATO (Narrative Architecture Today) journal, a manifesto for socially and culturally committed architecture that is also popular. His works in Tokyo (Metropol Restaurant), Sapporo (Noah’s Ark) and Bongo (Parco Cafè) and shops in London testify to this. Coates has designed exhibitions and interiors and constructed buildings throughout the world. The exhibitions include Global Cities at the 2006 Venice Biennale of Architecture. His works are on display in important museums such as the London Victoria and Albert, the New York MOMA, the FRAC and Vitra Design Museum.
He is now head of the Architecture Department of the London Royal College of Art. Coates was invited to the 2008 Venice Biennale.
Discover the past to create the future. Since 1969, the bond between traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetic solutions characterizes Varaschin, a venetian company leader in the outdoor market. The weave, once of rattan and wicker now of synthetic materials more suitable for the outdoors, has always been the soul of Varaschin production, a unique stylistic feature and synonym of quality. In addition to the outdoor collections, Varaschin also manufactures indoor and contract products, signed by the most prestigious names in Italian and international design. Each product line has its own story and identity, but the re-interpretation of the weave concept is the common denominator among them.
Attention to detail, originality and aesthetic care are core features of Varaschin products, which are unique, sophisticated and elegant. The vision of a unique space both in the house and contract environment, inspires furniture which expands and connects the outdoors with the indoors, in a balanced game between lightness and comfort.
