Martinelli Luce’s collaboration with Rashid is a clear expression of the brand’s interest in the most innovative and lively design languages now emerging on the international panorama.

Karim Rashid’s sensual and often ironic minimalism has made him one of the most “followed” figures in products, interior design, fashion, furnishings, lighting, and art, one who is well-known for the immediacy of his design and his absolutely original slant on contemporary culture.
