King Vase in Rubinrot & Grau von Karim Rashid für Puhro

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

King and Queen, found elsewhere on Pamono, are sinuous vases designed by Karim Rashid in 2013 that combine regality and visual intelligence. The oval crown of the King extends upward, while the upper part of the Queen resembles a rounded aureole, giving each vase a distinctive character. Conceived to contain even a single flower for a dramatic effect, King and Queen are mere decorative objects thanks to the unexpected combinations of bold colors. Please select your color choice from the color chart and contact the Pamono team with your preference.

About the Designer

Karim Rashid

Karim Rashid wurde 1960 in Kairo, Ägypten, geboren und wuchs in Kanada und England auf. Er machte 1982 seinen Bachelor in Industriedesign an der Carleton University in Ottowa, Kanada. Danach machte er in Italien ein Aufbaustudium in Design bei Ettore Sottsass und anderen bevor er nach Mailand zog, um ein Jahr im Rodolfo Bonetto Studio zu arbeiten. 1993 eröffnete Rashid sein eigenes Studio in New York City, wo er auch heute noch lebt und arbeitet. Er hat Design an der University of the Arts in Philadelphia, dem Pratt Institute in New York, der RISD in Providence, Rhode Island und dem Ontario College of Art unterrichtet. Außerdem hat er an unterschiedlichen Schulen doziert.

Rashid ist ein sehr produktiver Designer. Sein Studio gibt an, dass sich derzeit über 3000 seiner Designs in Produktion befinden. Seine Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch Eleganz und Minimalismus aus, verspielt und manchmal sinnlich. Rashids Design-Repertoire reicht von Luxuswaren über massenproduzierte Stücke, Möbel, Beleuchtung, Inneneinrichtungen, High-Tech Objekte und Verpackungen bis hin zu Markenauftritten. Unter seinen Kunden sind Issey Miyake, Tommy Hilfiger, Sony, Zanotta, Citibank, Alessi, Audi, Kenzo, Hugo Boss, Artemide, Method, das Morimoto Restaurant (Philadelphia), und nhow Hotel (Berlin). Rashid wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet, unter anderem als Designer des Jahres vom Brooklyn Museum of Art (1998), mit dem Daimler Chrysler Award (1999) und dem silbernen IDEA Award für sein Design Oh Stuhl (1999). Rashid erhielt außerdem Ehrendoktorwürden von der OCAD in Toronto und dem Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington.

About the Maker

Purho

Purho was founded by Andrea Dotto in 2012 with the ambition of merging the traditional craftsmanship of hand-blown Murano glass with the tastes and aesthetics of contemporary design.

Achieved in an artful symphony of color, iridescence, and transparency, Purho works with a carefully chosen selection of exemplary designers. The brand presents a collection of vases, lighting pieces, glasses, and bowls that celebrate a dance between the light that the translucence of glass allows and vibrant pops of color in hues of orange, blue, red and pink.

Based on the notion of creating ‘fairy-tale’ objects that are realized by master glaziers in Murano, Purho’s pieces may be functional but they could also easily be perceived as works of art. The vases by Karim Rashid, in particular, look like sculptures—shining feats of balance, color, and form. And while each piece created by Purho is a fine example of serious Italian craftsmanship, they also exude a lightness, sense of fun, and charm.
