Hasta La Ideas

Designer Karim Rashid presented a collection of stainless steel containers for Italian design brand Alessi at Maison & Objet in Paris last week. 

Called Hellraiser, the range includes a basket, tray and fruit bowl, all featuring cut-out geometric shapes.

Maison & Objet took place 21-25 January 2011.

Here’s a bit of text from Alberto Alessi:

There are two Rashids: the architect (Hani) and the designer (Karim). We’ve worked with both of them.

With the first (timid and reserved) we produced a collection of desk objects, “Parq”, “Scup”, “Trina” and “Stila”, the “Trianava” vase, the “Arc” wristwatch and the “Ares” pen.

With the second (extroverted and even overly outgoing) the “Kaj” wristwatch and the projects we’re announcing today: harsh and metropolitan (an interesting contrast to his usual soft and rounded language), as soon as I saw them, I spontaneously called them “Hellraiser”.
