Karim Rashid may be the most prolific industrial designer working today. From packaging for Method to the ubiquitous Garbo trash can, Rashid has designed over 3,000 objects for more than 50 clients in 40 countries. The Ego Vase for Portuguese glass company Marinha Grande – here in frosted and clear glass – is perfectly aligned with his curvy, futuristic approach to design. Opposing profiles appear and disappear depending on the angle from which is viewed.
