Karim Rashid’s Pink World
I have walked past Karim Rashid’s showroom in New York City many times, and I always figured he was a bright colors kind of guy - there’s always lots of lime green around, particularly at Nooch, the restaurant up the street designed by Rashid. But it turns out he actually has quite a lot of pink in his collection.
There’s the $160 mobile hard drive, which in addition to being hot pink, also has a dizzying pattern imprinted on it. There’s also the bizarre refillable lighter, which stands up by itself, and at $9 is probably the cheapest way to get your hands on a Karim Rashid design. For your father, brother, or other important man in your life, there’s the pink men’s sandals. But the real winner in Mr. Rashid’s pink selection is the Omni Sofa, which is pictured here. I have no idea how you’re supposed to sit in it or use it, but it’s $18,000 anyway! (This just might be the most expensive item I will ever write about…)
