Karim Rashid
‘People project meaning onto objects. If an object allows you to interact with it, then it becomes part of your being, and over time you see things in it that first you might not have seen’
‘I want industrial design to be a public subject. I want people to love objects the way they love clothing.’
‘....I am working constantly. When you work, you must focus and work only; then you can work less and accomplish more. When you play, focus to play only, then you will have more fulfilled relations or pleasure. When you rest or relax focus on just that, then you will be rejuvenated always. In other words if you devote yourself to the experience at hand, your life will be extremely well balanced, accomplished, and more fulfilled.’
‘Design is about the betterment of our lives poetically, aesthetically, experientially, sensorially, and emotionally.’
