butterfly


Karim Rashid's butterfly chair was under consideration for the new workroom chair but I can not find any place that sells them individually. It seems very odd to me. Maybe it is an environmental thing? Karim is best known for bringing the masses his simple design and an overtly computer generated look. He is known in design circles as a pompous and relentless self-promoter who brough us the monument to his ego in the form of the cone hand vacuum - which makes the design profession slightly laughable in boardrooms around the globe. The butterfly chair is solidly cool looking though.
