Video: Karim Rashid Chats About the Pantone Colour of the Year and More!

Posted by Terry Wong Friday, February 10, 2012 10:30 AM

Last month, I caught up with iconic designer Karim Rashid at the Interior Design Show's Conversations in Design series. We chatted on a variety of design- and non-design-related subjects, in what by the end felt like a real heart-to-heart. He's charming, has incredible insight, and his passion for enriching the human experience through good design is truly inspiring. It was a conversation I won't soon forget!

In last week's interview, Karim Rashid gave his views on good design. This week, in keeping with February's theme, I bring you his views on Colour. Karim's use of colour is one of the most distinctive aspects about his work and it was fascinating to hear him explain how colour factors into his creative process. Bonus fun: his take on the Pantone colour of the year -- check out my video below, and leave a comment to let me know if you agree or disagree with his views!
