Rashid: When I work with any business, I push the needs and goal of ecological design. I designed cheap shoes in South America for Melissa. They have a best 100% reclaimable plant, so almost all their PVC is created with no waste materials. I have used the technique of flocking to create distinctive textures in the naturally degradable, vegan shoes also.

1. Product Design Dompanies
Interview with Famous Product
Developer Karim Rashid

2. • Karim Rashid is one of the most
recognizable merchandise designers of his
genesis. In most design groups, he is
regarded as well known just as much as
he is famous

3. • . There's no denying that he is productive
with over 3000 products in generation in
more than 35 nations around the world
along with numerous awards and honorary
doctorates from the Ontario College of Art
& Layout and Corcoran University of Art &
Design...creating the case that individuals
that think little of him are envious of his
good results

4. • . Either way, Rashid is not known for his
sustainability - he is known more for
objects and putting on only pink and/or
white. When I noticed him buying vitamins
at the local Total Foods sporting pink from
visit toe - I had to ask for an job interview
to find out if there's any green as part of
his sensitivity.

• Tree hugger: What's your experience with
green components and engineering for the
products and designs you have laboured
on
• Rashid: When I work with any business, I
push the needs and goal of ecological
design. I designed cheap shoes in South
America for Melissa.

7. • They have a best 100% reclaimable plant,
so almost all their PVC is created with no
waste materials.
• I have used the technique of flocking to
create distinctive textures in the naturally
degradable, vegan shoes also. I created
the Method line that is made up of
completely 100% biodegradable cleaning
products

8. • We have attempted re-making Umbra
Garb out of Corn-plastic, and also
designed Global, a self-watering plantation
owner system.
• I have discovered sustainable living
through convention concept houses such
as Corian Smart-illogic which was shown
in Cairo for DuPont.

9. • For me it is important for us to push these
notions with our customers. There is no
splendour without health and the
surroundings needs to stay wholesome.

10. • TH: Do you think the growth and attention
in green design is good or bad for product
designers?
• Rashid: I think growth in green design is
important, and required to move forward.
We want to design better in buy to
consumer less.

12. • We need to use new technologies and
improvements to improve our
environment, and to choose much
healthier options.
• To add more to one's life, one can also
subtract or remove, so that instead of
eating, one de-consumes, a theory of add-
on by subtraction, where less can be
more.

13. • But not in the Meridian ideal of more is a
lesser amount of (Miens Van de Roe
1939), not a minimum or reductive tactic.
Instead, a way of enriching one's life, of
increasing experiences through stunning
things, through things that we love, to edit
our alternatives and have a richer life -
creating in the long run the most essential
luxury of the 21st,hundred- 'free-time'.
