Metal Tiles by Karim Rashid for ALLOY
Karim Rashid has designed a collection of metal tiles for the Australian manufacturer ALLOY.

Karim Rashid says:
I have always been obsessed with patterns. Working with ALLOY has given me a great opportunity to play with the idea of pattern, grid, and repetition. A pattern is a way of giving richness and depth to our Cartesian landscape. The more diversity of line, shape, and composition, the more interesting a single cell is. The undulating, curvilinear forms give a 2-dimensional surface a sense of 3-dimensions. These elements repeat in a predictable manner but they are designed to contradict the square tile. This collection for ALLOY is organic in shape because I believe that the world needs a softening and a more fluid human spirit.

Brilliant. I worked across the street from his place in Manhattan and remembered that the door said “Karim Rashid” when I saw this post. Nice to see what he really does, since I wasn’t sure from the exterior of the building.
