Karim Rashid Space

Karim Rashid Space was published in 2009 by Universe Publishing as a comprehensive survey of the designer's architectural and interior design output. Rashid, a prominent figure in industrial design known for his 'blobject' aesthetic and preference for organic, fluid forms, curated this collection to document his transition from product design toward larger-scale spatial environments. The book serves as a visual manifesto for his design philosophy, which emphasizes human comfort, digital aesthetics, and the integration of high-technology materials into everyday life.

The volume features photography and conceptual sketches that illustrate Rashid's approach to creating 'sensual minimalism' in public and private spaces, such as hotels, restaurants, and retail showrooms. Designed with a distinct graphic sensibility that mirrors his own work, the book was received primarily as a portfolio piece intended for design professionals and enthusiasts of contemporary mid-century-inspired modernism. It highlights his ambition to reshape the built environment into a more interconnected and ergonomic experience through the use of vibrant colors and seamless, continuous curves.
