Conference

Karim Rashid is a world-renowned industrial designer known for his bold, futuristic, and often brightly colored aesthetic. He has created over 4,000 designs in fields ranging from furniture and lighting to packaging and fashion, collaborating with global brands such as Alessi, Umbra, and Veuve Clicquot. Recognized for blending art, technology, and functionality, Rashid has won numerous awards and is considered one of the most prolific designers of his generation.

Ross Lovegrove is a visionary of contemporary design – a creator whose works blend technology, art, and nature. Known as “Captain Organic”, he designs objects with futuristic, organic forms that seem to come from another dimension. His philosophy of “DNA: Design, Nature, Art” ensures that every project becomes not only functional but also almost sculptural – from furniture and lamps to projects for Apple, Airbus, and Vitra. Lovegrove is the author of such icons as the “Solar Tree” or the “Go Chair”, and his works are part of the collections of MoMA, the Guggenheim, and the Centre Pompidou. In recent years, he has also been exploring artificial intelligence, creating projects on the border between technology and art. He is an artist who constantly pushes the boundaries of design and demonstrates that the future can be beautifully organic. You will meet him at his lecture during Warsaw Home!
