Karim Rashid's 'Unplanned Brutalism' is Intriguingly Unconventional

Although I don't see anything particularly brutal about the 'Unplanned Brutalism' furniture collection, the title does get your attention with the violent choice of words.

Designed by the famous Karim Rashid, this 'Unplanned Brutalism' collection is as intriguing as ever. Although not necessarily as colorful as his previous work, these furnishings nonetheless rest on eccentric silhouettes, interesting materials and unique details. These limited edition pieces are currently being exhibited at the 'Tina Kim Gallery' in New York.
