Karim Rashid

The designer above is Karim Rashid. He designs very modern furniture as well as a variety of other products. In the video Objectified, he talked about how in today's world everything we use is so new and modern. We have iphones, ipods, television, computers, etc. So if those things are modern why are we using old fashion wooden furniture? So he designs very modern, but simple furniture. The photos of the chairs above are two of his designs. The other photo of the jewelry is an over the door hanging jewelry organizer. This is an item that I own that I believe is really well designed. It is simple, but functional. It was smart of the designer to make it be able to hang over a door, so that it does not take up space on a table or dresser like most jewelry organizers. Also, it holds a large amount of jewelry, but it is designed well enough so that it is easy to keep the jewelry organized, and it looks good to have displayed where people can see it.
