Paul Vallely said:
Serious people have few ideas.
People with ideas are never serious.
Karim Rashid says:
I conceive more ideas
than my clients can produce.
My clients cannot work fast enough,
produce enough concepts,
turn around manufacturing fast enough.
He goes to Indian Design Forum,
dressed in signature white and pink.
Look at his persona:
Typical Egyptian.
Long chin,
curved beak nose,
dressed ultra-modern.
His designs span interiors,
fashion, furniture, lighting,
installations and art:
say Komal Sharma
and Anindita Ghose.
No doubt,
an old culture has the potential
to throw up ultra modern
if entrenched lifestyle is loosened.
What Vallely said
is amply paraphrased
by Karim Rashid
who treads Cairo and Milano,
New York and London,
Belgrade and Amsterdam.
No point in losing hope.
Humans are bigger
than their problems.
