Karim Rashid is designing the world we live in one design at a time – or, more accurately, thousands of objects at a time. One of the most prolific designers of his generation, Rashid’s bestselling ‘Oh Chair’ and ‘Garbo’ rubbish bin brought the supple curves and bright colours of high design into the living rooms of millions all over the world.
In Karim Rashid: Evolution, the designer explains in his own words his approach to design and life through evocative, thought-provoking essays and lush colour treatments of his newest designs, which demonstrate just how he has popularized design and made it so accessible.
The designs featured are all new, and are represented by photographs, drawings and photo-realistic renderings, many published here for the first time in book form. Never-before-seen sketches from the designer’s personal notebooks accompany most of the photographs, shedding new light on Rashid’s design practice and philosophy.
From perfume bottles to cyber-couture fashion, Karim Rashid always looks to the future, showing how design can make life better, easier and more enjoyable.
Karim Rashid opened his own design practice in New York in 1993 and has gone on to work for a wide array of clients around the world, including Issey Miyake, Prada, Nambé, Umbra, Magis Frighetto, Armani and Sony.
