I am a graphic designer who is always looking
for new inspirational ideas and concepts within
any median.

I tend to be drawn to actual substancial pieces
that I can hold, touch, and smell, instead of books.
But this book is FULLY illustrated with concepts
and substancial pieces that almost jump right
off of each page.

Karim... You officially have a new fan!

His views on such things as how we preceive things
are an easy intriguing read. I recommend this book
to anyone int he design field looking to broaden
their horizens and outlook on life as we "knew" it.

Too much about the personality and not enough about the thinking. Layout of book makes it hard to read.

I'm a big fan of Karim's work, this book has alot of nice images(more pics than text) of products he has designed as well as descriptions, thoughts, ideas, and so on. Very inspiring for myself as a designer.

I really enjoyed this book. I don't personally like alot of the work contained in the book, but I believe some of the work is ground breaking (method, umbra, some of the fragrance packaging, and a couple pieces of furniture...) and most is interesting compared to other products in stores, and some of the interior design is pretty progressive.
The layout of the text is bothersome but thankfully there isn't too much.... If your into design books this one isn't disappointing. The quality of evolution is better than I want to change the world. You can see alot of the work in the book on his website if your interested in his designs.
