Twentieth Century Design at the City Art Gallery

Cabinet Made of Mixed Media Punched with Decoration

Organic Chair Created with Layers of Metal





These two pieces of furniture were on display at Manchester City Art Gallery in their Contemporary Twentieth Century Display.   Both are inspired by nature and form.   I love both these pieces.  The cabinet was a combination of metal, lacquer and wood and had a lovely feminine feel despite the hard sometimes harsh metal.

The second piece, the chair reminded me of being by the sea and the weathered contours of the rock weathered by the sea.
