karim rashid: cross for freedom of creation


'cross' by karim rashid for freedom of creation

karim rashid has conceived 'cross' in collaboration with freedom of creation,
a dutch company known for their advanced 3D printing technologies. the collection,
which to date includes a suspension and table lamp, was presented at imm cologne 2011.

the suggestive cross-shaped lamp is composed from an agglomeration of small figures
that allude to the designers most famous and iconic forms. each shape - unique in mass
and scale - intersects with the others to produce an arbitrary surface that filters light
while creating and defining shadow.

Love it or hate it, but it is definitely Karim's style.

I would not buy it, but it's a pleasant object and good use of the 3D technology.
