Karim Rashid has an incomparable design signature, impossible to emulate. Although many designers take great pleasure in drawing on the past, it is the designers that reach into the future that are creating the next generation of style. Futuristic interior design relies heavily on the home architecture. Rounded doorways, walls, asymmetric angles should be planned before the construction.
Whether we’re introducing new décor, giving our space a fresh paint job, or even doing a full renovation, everything in interior design comes down to color: And our choice of the palette can make a big impact on the overall feel of your home.
Karim Rashid makes sure the design color scheme suits the style of the future decor. Neutral colors can often be seen in futuristic designs. Although it doesn’t mean Karim entirely gave up the color.
Bright accents such as furniture items, artworks, and feature walls can be seen to bring in the color to the decor. When in comes about shapes, curved and asymmetric shapes and lines can be often seen in his futuristic furniture items.
In his spare time Karim’s pluralism flirts with art, fashion, and music and is determined to creatively touch every aspect of our physical and virtual landscape.
