Karim Rashid to be the star of Warsaw Home & Contract
Europe's largest business interiors fair will be held at PTAK Warsaw Expo from November 7-10, 2023. We are pleased to announce that international design star Karim Rashid will visit.
Karim Rashid is one of the most unique voices in design today. With more than 4,000 designs in production, more than 300 awards and work for clients in more than 40 countries, the Egyptian is one of the most respected creatives of his generation.
Karim’s designs include luxury goods for Christofle, Alessi, Veuve Clicquot and Riva 1920, egalitarian products for Umbra, Paul Mitchell and 3M, timeless furniture for Bonaldo, Tonelli, BoConcept and Vondom, unique lighting for Artemide and Fontana Artem, high-tech products for Asus and SirinLabs, or iconic branding for Hugo Boss and Citibank. He has also collaborated with Method, Paris Baguette, Kenzo and Eos.
He designed not only interiors. Switch in the United Arab Emirates, the hotel project for Park Inn by Radisson Amsterdam City West, Temptation Resort Cancun and budget hotels for Prizeotel in Bremen, Hamburg, Munster and Erfurt are based on his ideas.
Karim is a recipient of the American Prize for Design Lifetime Achievement, as well as a long-time winner of Red Dot, Chicago Athenaeum Good Design, Pentawards and IDSA Industrial Design Excellence awards. He holds honorary doctorates from Carlton University, Pratt Institute, OCAD in Toronto, British Institute of Interior Design and Corcoran College of Art & Design.
