Why is Karim Rashid called the Prince of Plastic?
1 Answer
Karim Rashid is called the Prince of Plastic because plastic is one of his favored materials. Moreover, the industrial designer's furniture and household objects elevate the material. Rashid's use of plastic relates to his philosophy that everyday, inexpensive materials can rival the beauty of pricier high-end materials like solid wood and marble.
