Rigorous Beautification

Join celebrated designer Karim Rashid in conversation with Museum of Arts and Design’s Curator Ronald T. Labaco. Karim and Ron will discuss the concept of “rigorous beautification” that lies at the heart of Karim’s practice, the experience of working with long term clients, and how companies’ expectations and understanding of design have evolved over the years. They will also explore the idea of mass production as a poetic medium and explore the ways in which designers may turn the industrial process into an expressive one. Toast Karim, Ron and Vondom, immediately following.
