Nice and New: Karim Rashid's Poly Chair

Even though it would be rare to find one of his pieces that would fit into my home's Bazaar Style-oriented design aesthetic, I still can't help but admire Karim Rashid and covet his space-age designs.

I'm definitely loving his Poly chair ($340), which looks like a clever cross between my beloved Louis Ghost Chair and the Blu Dot Real Good Chair. Like the Ghost chair, the Poly is made of polycarbonate. Apparently, the chair was in the works for two years, with three different prototypes created to determine which design offered the most comfort, the perfect degree of inclination, and the most durability. The Poly has already won two international awards, the Chicago Athenaeum’s Good Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award.

    i like these abstractly. i don't think they'd be all that comfortable, but they look interesting.

    I agree with Aimee...they'd look cute on a deck. But that's about it for me.

    I think it's great. And the beauty of the clear version is that it could really go quite well in any decor... giving it a modern edge....even you're Bazaar style home!

    I am coveting this chair! I need a modern chair in my small living room that will do double duty. This chair looks modern, is more affordable than a Ghost Chair and I think it will certainly be a focal point in my room.
