as part of the milan design week 2008, gallery edizioni paola colombari will present karim rashid‘s new ‘blobulous chairs’.
the installation will be composed of six different colored fiberglass blob chairs (blue-pink, chrome-orange, chrome-pink, pink, lime-black, pink-black.)
‘if freedom were a form it would be a never-ending undulating boundless biomorphic shape that is in perpetual
motion. form follows fluid. n a post-industrial house our conditions will be more relaxed, softer and blobular,
where our experiences will be more hypertextual and less linear. the blobchair speaks to the new casualism
that is feeding our ever changing and shifting global lifestyles. blob architecture may shape our environments;
organic systems will change our paradigms, and organomics may shape the objects with touch everyday…’

as part of the show rashid will also present his ‘elliptik’ lighting installation – a limited edition of 2 lights made from a fiberglass shell and translucent acrylic sheets finished with automotive paint in electric blue and baby pink.
