Stone-Inspired Illuminators

The Karim Rashid Kobble Collection Features Soft-Sculpted Forms

— February 21, 2022 — Art & Design
The Karim Rashid Kobble collection marks the first collaboration of its kind between the designer and Gantri, a digital manufacturer of lighting. This collection features softly sculpted forms inspired by cobblestones and it includes novel illuminators to sit on floors, tabes and suspend on walls.

The collection is shaped by plant-based materials, a museum-grade LED bulbs and custom dimmer switches, and the stone-inspired forms can be found in a fun range of natural colors like Blossom Pink, Sprout Green and Glossy Snow. The light fixtures from the Kobble collection work just as well on their own as they do apart, yet the collection as a whole creates a harmonious design language when the pieces are placed in close proximity to one another.
Trend Themes
1. Soft-sculpted Lighting - Opportunity for companies to explore the use of plant-based materials and unique forms as a way to innovate lighting design.
2. Customizable Dimmer Switches - Opportunity for companies to create dimmer switches that can be personalized based on consumer preferences and needs.
3. Museum-grade LED Bulbs - Opportunity for companies to invest in high-quality LED bulbs as a way to improve lighting performance and longevity.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting - Companies in the lighting industry can take inspiration from the Karim Rashid Kobble collection and explore new materials and forms for their products.
2. Furniture - Opportunity for furniture companies to incorporate unique lighting pieces into their designs as a way to create a cohesive and harmonious interior design.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can use the Karim Rashid Kobble collection as inspiration to create unique lighting solutions for their clients that are both functional and beautiful.
