karim rashid's newest project 'kairo' chair that he designed
for italian company riva 1920. his chair will be on display during milan design week 09.
'when I first sketched the kairo chair for riva 1920 I was firstly inspired by the
manufacturing process, to cut out of a solid trunk of a tree a one piece object with
as little material removed as possible. the arched simple cuts from the chair were
inspired a recent trip to egypt where I saw the eye shapes everywhere from ancient
double curved stools and chairs to hand carved vessels to the basic lines found
in the hieroglyphics.' - karim rashid
