Kurve Designer Karim Rashid Thinks New York Has Some Catching Up to DoWhen Andy Yang's mysterious Thai venture, Kurve, finally went into soft-opening mode a few weeks ago, after almost a year of delays, the buzz wasn't about the menu or Sascha Petraske's first venture into "bar chef" territory, so much as it was about Karim Rashid's splashy interior.
The famed designer has only worked on about ten restaurants, starting with Morimoto in Philadelphia and ending with his current projects in Shanghai and Lisbon.
"I don't do a lot of them in the U.S.," he said, "because a lot of the time developers and restaurateurs are extremely conservative and very worried."
New York Magazine asked him about other New York City restaurants; his favorite color, pink; and what he plans to do with the hidden cameras above his oddly shaped bar.
