Karim Rashid's Kit 24 House Unveiled at The Interior Design ShowCelebrated designer Karim Rashid unveiled his concept space, created specifically for The Interior Design Show.
Kit 24 is a house produced with simple, minimal parts and tooling. Rashid's environment is composed of a few repeated parts that assemble a 24-sided house, but it is also a metaphor for time and is based on a 24-hour day.
This 1,800 square foot two-level experimental space explores the domestic environment and its intersection with technology.
It is a Kit of few repeated parts to assemble a 24-sided house. But it is also a metaphor for time.
The house is based on the 24-hour day cycle from the living and working space on the ground floor to sleeping quarters on the second level.
"I have always loved the idea of a Kit house," says Rashid.
"The concept has been approached by engineers and architects throughout the years. I wanted to show the contemporary approach, a really positive, interesting and artistic space for living inspired by technology."
"It also provides a venue to show many of my furnishings and objects; although all quite different from each other, they can cohabitate a space to communicate an organic, pleasurable environment."
