Karim Rashid ~ A Truly Celebrated Designer

Karim Rashid – one of the most prolific designers of this generation.

Over 3000 designs in production, over 300 awards and working in

 over 35 countries…The Egyptian born designer moved Stateside

when he was 7.  He is a genius at industrial design, packaging,

modern interiors - literally any kind of design you think of - he

excels at and he can do well.

This is a bar and restaurant he designed called Switch

which is located in Dubai, UAE.  I love how he used Arabic
script for the ceiling.  I love scripting and words of any kind.

The real genius in this modern space is the lighting. 
The same space with blue lighting.

And again with Magenta lights.

Areas to lounge in.

Facilities: 62 seats for dining & 35 for bar / lounge

Area: 200 sqm

A super cool and hip place to hang out and eat I must say.  I'll show case

some of his products later on which first caught my eye.  Have you bought

any Karim Rashid designed products?  When it comes to industrial design

and packaging, he's like Apple when compared to PC's.
