on now at the instituto tomie ohtake, sao paulo is the first solo exhibition of designer karim rashid in brazil. it is the institute’s hope that by showcasing rashid’s work, they will generate a discussion about the aspects of contemporary design and its impact on daily life. upon entrance into the exhibition you are greeted by a large painting-like, computer graphic, 300 square metres in size which acts as a backdrop to the furniture on display. this virtual component within the exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to encounter the designer as a life-size avatar, playing between reality and the artificial, something which is prominent in rashid’s work.
the exhibition is an international cooperation with munich’s design museum, die neue sammlung. it is curated by german art historian and critic dr. albrecht bangert in collaboration with brazilian-born designer and architect camila tariki of karim rashid’s new york studio and organized by instituto tomie ohtake. most of the pieces on show are from the munich collection.

I like the stuff here and good information that you have provided. The [url=http://www.bestpricedfurniture.com/]furniture[/url] design are great! Very colorful and it reminds of of Disneyland and cartoon character. I wish I can go there.
I’d rather watch Fear Factor.
I went there! What made me angry was to not be alowed to touch the pieces. I’m a designer and I have this need to feel the objects with my hands and discover what material they are made of. By not being able to touch the pieces I had only confirmed that design is not for everyone, it’s just for a feel privileged people.
Ironically, I could go to a design store nearby and hold most Rashid’s objects that were displayed in that exhibition. Yes, just hold them not buying, because they cost a fortune here!
what a goon
Karim Rashid has been going downhill lately. I’m not a fan of his new work at all. He was doing interesting stuff in the late 90’s…
