Product catalog summary

1. Introduction to Nigel Coates and His Design Philosophy
This section introduces Nigel Coates, an architect, designer, and commentator known for his sensuous and fluid architectural style. Coates emphasizes the presence of architecture in everyday objects, which often feature body-like curves and lively character. His work embraces the complexity and confusion of urban environments, translating these qualities into iconoclastic buildings such as The Wall in Tokyo, The Pop Museum in Sheffield, and The Body Zone in the Millennium Dome. In 1998, Coates designed the Oyster House, a proto-living unit incorporating objects like the OXO sofa system and his first glass vase designs. His book "Guide to Ecstacity" (2003, Laurence King) encapsulates his vision.

2. Artistic and Technical Innovation in Ceramic Design
The document highlights a groundbreaking approach to ceramic art that integrates contemporary notions of the human figure. Using computerized scanning technology, the design reproduces human figures and their movements with lines that appear both transparent and simultaneously naturalistic and abstract. These figures interact within a room to create a dynamic dialogue, enhancing the spatial experience and emphasizing how humans inhabit space.

3. Bodypark Ceramic Collection Details
The Bodypark collection, designed by Nigel Coates, consists of multiple compositions of decorated ceramic tiles with human figure motifs. Key product details include:
- BODYPARK 3: 18 decorated tiles, size 40x180 cm (16"x72")
- BODYPARK 2: 8 decorated tiles, size 40x80 cm (16"x32")
- BODYPARK 4: 18 decorated tiles, size 160x60 cm (64"x24")
- BODYPARK 1: 8 decorated tiles, size 40x80 cm (16"x32")
Additionally, four decorative subjects are available featuring full and half human figures in platinum on both glossy (Bianco Extra) and matte (L.111) white backgrounds, sized 20x20 cm.

4. Recommended Color and Coating Combinations
The document provides suggested color and coating matches for the ceramic tiles, including references to specific color codes such as c&c d1 Nero Extra and c&c c9. These recommendations aim to optimize aesthetic harmony and functional performance of the ceramic surfaces.

5. Production and Contact Information
Research and development were led by Architect Tommaso Gagliardi, with art direction by Antonella Frezza. The printing was completed by Tecnografica in April 2006. Ceramica Bardelli is a registered trademark of Gruppo Industriale. Contact details for the company and showroom locations in Italy and Milan are provided, along with international contact information for Russia.

Proprio perchө larchitettura Ҩ sensuale, pi essa presente negli oggetti騔 - dice Coates ֓meglio . I suoi oggetti hanno le curve tipichedella forma di un corpo e presentano un carattere vivace. La sua architettura si distingue per la sua fluidit蔠, e sembra che si imponga con forzasopra la citt. Architetto, designer, commentatore Coates uno di quelli, la cui visione si basa sullo spazio tra i vari campi visivi. Egli conside-ra la complessitਠ e la confusione delle citt come una caratteristica attrattiva, un atteggiamento che si traduce nei suoi edifici iconoclastici inGiappone e nel Regno Unito,...

Una geniale trasposizione dei valori plastici introduce nella ceramica una nozione contemporanea della figura umana. Attraverso una scan-sione computerizzata si giunge ad una sbalorditiva tecnica di raffigurazione grafica: le linee riproducono le figure umane ed i loro movimenti,come se fossero trasparenti, altamente naturalistici ed astratti al tempo stesso. Allinterno di una stanza, le varie figure creano un dialogofra di loro giungendo perfino ad enfatizzare il nostro modo di vivere lo spazio.A brilliant transposition of plastic values introduces a contemporary notion of the human figure into...
