Karim Rashid (born 1960) is an Egyptian-born and Canadian raised industrial designer. His designs include luxury goods, furniture, lighting, surface design, brand identity and packaging. Time magazine has described him as the "most famous industrial designer in all the Americas" and the "Prince of Plastic". He is based in New York City, as well as Belgrade, Miami and India.
Karim Rashid was born in 1960 in Cairo, Egypt to an English mother and Egyptian father, who was an abstract artist. Rashid is the brother of famed architect, Hani Rashid, of Asymptote. His sister is a painter and musician, Soraya Rashid. He was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and had developmental delays, unable to speak until the age of four.[8] The family emigrated to Missisauga, Ontario, Canada when Karim was five years old.[10] Rashid showed an interest in designed objects from a young age, sketching the luggage he saw on the ship to Canada.[11]
He attended high school in Mimico, Toronto, Ontario, where he further pursued his passion for design and sewed himself a pink satin suit for his graduation.[8] Rashid received a Bachelor of Industrial Design in 1982 from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[1] He pursued graduate design studies in Naples, Italy, with Ettore Sottsass. He then moved to Milan for one year and worked at the Rodolfo Bonetto Studio.
Career
Starting in 1984, Rashid worked with KAN Industrial Designers in Canada for 7 years, where he created x-ray equipment and small useful objects, such as a mailbox and a snow shovel.[12][7] From 1985 until 1991, he co-founded and designed the Babel Fashion Collection and North.[7] In 1993 Rashid opened his own private design studio in New York City.[7]
Rashid's work is featured in 20 permanent collections.[citation needed] His pieces are exhibited in museums worldwide, including the MoMA,[13] Centre Pompidou,[14] and SFMOMA.[15] He is known for designs such as the "Garbo" waste can and "Oh Chair" for home accessories company Umbra,[16][15] a concept store for Giorgio Armani,[citation needed] perfume bottles for Kenzo, bobble water bottle, watches and tableware for Alessi, lighting for Artemide and Martinelli Luce,[17] and products for Veuve Clicquot.[18][19] He has also worked with Audi, Samsung, Swarowski and Armani.[20] In addition Rashid has designed for Kenzo, Method, Bombay Saffire, Finé Water Japan, Sexy Beast USA, Davidoff, Issey Miyake, Estee Lauder.[21] In 1999, he designed manhole covers for the sewers of New York.[22]
While working for Ettore Sottsass, Rashid became dedicated to infusing his pieces with a welcoming "human" quality, finding the majority of industrial designs to be too imposing.[23] Rashid has discussed his interest in the psychological power of objects and spaces, and often works with color palettes which have emotional significance to him; pink, for example, is a staple in his designs as he believes it "creates a sense of well-being, or energy, or of positive spirit," and lime green is used in kitchens as it is "conducive to dining".[24] The mid-century modern influence is evident in Rashid's work, though he prefers to embrace the digital world and look toward the future for inspiration. His style is sometimes described as "sensual minimalism".[23] He was the first designer[25] to participate in the "design burger"[26] "Design Dialogues", a series of visual interviews in which the designer is given a Copic pen and number of written prompts, and responds to these with only drawings.[27]
In 2004, he designed his first hotel, the Semiramis in Athens, Greece.[11]
In 2008, Rashid teamed up with prizeotel Founder & CEO Marco Nussbaum, to become the exclusive Designer for the Economy-Design Hotelbrand.[citation needed]

Rashid was selected in 2014 to design several real estate developments in New York City for HAP Investments, a New York City-based International investment group.[30]
