Hello Earth Habitants! Welcome to Planet K. R.

Karim Rashid's talent and wizardry with shapes and colors completely blows me away to another planet. Considering that he has designed and sold millions of his products, I am guessing I am not the only one.
Bold! Stimulating! Futuristic! and Spirited! is how I define his work. I came across this gem (no pun intended:-) of a house, belonging to K. Rashid and located in Chelsea - NY, in SkonaHem (one of my favorite magazines). The home, in my mind, in an ideal example of what a marriage of shape, colors and imagination can do to four walls and a blank canvas of a house. Filled with furniture, art and accessories designed or influenced by K. Rashid himself, this home is a treat to see.

How cool is the yellow Koochy sofa, and gemmed-variation of the Kivas modular sofa (designed for Valdichienti). the Dekon Glass Coffee table (designed for Tonelli, Italy) on the left and the signature chess set (designed for Bozart)

Love love love the beautiful Matrix Sofa system (designed for Meritalia) - Very ikat-like
Love that the pink hues in the photo gelling with the walls and the contrasting blues of the bar stools
Clean and sleek lines of the bed with a blob side table and polka-holed lamp 
Cool Poly chairs (designed for Bonaldo) and a Kurl bookshelf (designed for Zeritalia) and don't forget to see the black Bokka pendant lamp  (designed for Kundalini)
Pretty in pink bathroom
