Karim Rashid takes on appliance design for Gorenje
Karim Rashid is a 50-year-old, Egyptian-born, Canadian-raised, Italian-educated force of nature. He's an industrial designer whose Manhattan design practice seems to touch every product category in existence. A year ago he designed a line of appliances for the Slovenian manufacturer Gorenje .
Gorenje isn't always distributed in North America unluckily, however searching over this collection is nearly enough to make me need to import them myself.
Distinctive does not begin to describe the attention and hand of Mr. Rashid and I have to say that I've never felt the urge to describe an induction cooktop as airy until I saw this.
That same layout is to be had in both induction or radiant electric powered. Amazing.
Here's his model of a wall oven.
That identical wall oven is to be had in a number of shades and what is exciting about them is that the colour comes from LEDs hidden in the recessed manage.
Dear Gorenje, please input the North American marketplace. Please.
