“Morphescape” is Gaia&Gino’s white glazed porcelain tableware designed by Karim Rashid.
The non-stop continuation of a single undulating surface is divided into every need for the table so you can actually have an entire table connected by each function as a modular scape. The inspiration is the city scape of Istabul from minarets to mosques to the modern city and the Bosphorus. But it could be any city in the world.
Karim Rashid was born in Cairo in 1960 - half Egyptian, half English, raised in Canada and practices in New York. His perspective and clients are global and while he considers himself more of a cultural provocateur, his projects range from products, interiors, fashion, furniture, lighting, art and music to installations.
