Karim Rashid collection

Karim Rashid has never been one for subtle gestures, but when it came to his ‘Tide’ collection for Horm, his breed of boldness hit just the right note. Practical but rarely pretty, the wardrobe has long been in need of a new outfit. Instead of creating a predictable slick and slender finish, Rashid has covered the façade with dramatic ridges, giving it a sculptural feel. Just make sure you’ve worked out where the handles are before you hit the sparkly stuff to celebrate your purchase.
