Sustainable furniture designer Karim Rashid opens a large scale exhibition devoted to design innovation and sustainability.

“The role of a designer today is to make the world a better place. By replacing the clutter of poorly designed objects with beautiful, high performing ones that are hopefully sustainable, ergonomic, and sensible yet seductive, we reduce the stress in our environments.”

Karim Rashid

The exhibition includes over 200 environmentally responsible and eco-conscious award-winning objects. Expect to see Rashid’s re-usable Bobble water bottle, the Garbino waste can, the re-configurable furniture for BoConcept, as well as new high-tec products for Asus and SirinLabs.

Following the lecture opening night Rashid will host a party with DJ Jas Nasty. For more information about the exhibition, the lecture and the launch party see below.
