Hello my beloved friends!
I am so excited with our new
products that I just decided to put everything on hold and write to you! We
have just received our dinnerware collection designed by Karim Rashid!
I am pretty sure you guys all
know him, but for those who don’t, Karim Rashid is an acclaimed designer that
has a mixed culture background and is considered one of the most prolific designers
of his generation.
Time magazine has described him as the "most famous
industrial designer in all the Americas” and he has created over 3000
products and won over 300 awards worldwide!
Karim Rachid believes in a more
holistic approach to design and states that well-designed objects can add
beauty and reflect the lives of those who use them. For him there’s no real
distinction between high and low design since his goal is always to provide a
quality experience to the users of the objects. What a visionary right?
According to his bio, Karim's
work is featured in 20 permanent collections and he exhibits art in galleries worldwide.
He has won several times the Red Dot award, Chicago Athenaeum Good Design
award, I.D. Magazine Annual Design Review, IDSA Industrial Design Excellence award
and many other awards.
A super cool thing about him is
that he’s always a guest lecturer at universities and conferences and he takes
up these opportunities to spread his more democratic views on design and its importance
in everyday life. He holds Honorary Doctorates from the OCAD, Toronto and
Corcoran College of Art & Design, Washington. Karim has been featured in
magazines and books including Time, Vogue, Esquire, GQ, Wallpaper, and
countless more.
WOW, the man does not stop and I
LOVE it!
One of his most recent partnerships
was with a porcelain factory in Brazil, certainly one of the most traditional
porcelain ware handcrafters in the world – Oxford Porcelanas! And the good news
is that we have exclusive distribution rights in North America! Do I need to say
how amazing this is?!
Well, you can buy it online or
come to our store, where you can see, touch and be amazed by his innovative and
beautiful to death ceramic dinner ware and crystal lines!!!
See you soon!
Beloved CEO
