Karim the White Invents the Kone

Worldchanging designer Karim Rashid is at it again. Last night we spotted him hawking his new Dirt Devil Kone--it is the new shape of clean y'all.  

Of course, the design guru was dressed in his trademark white suite for the Dirt Devil spot, which eerily reminded us of the Dyson vacuum ads.

While Karim toils in the Dirt Devil lab, across the globe at his Semiramis Hotel Athens, some question his choice of palette. A recent French guest critiques Semiramis (read the following tip in a Jean Girard over-the-top accent for added amusement):

We are big fan of design hotel, however this one is not what we like. I will recommend visiting the hotel for those who are interested in interior design. You should see it but not stay in. The bright colour are a bit too much after a couple of hours, specially in the restaurant it almost made me feel seek.

It is good to know that even if the Semiramis makes some guests "seek", Karim will always have the Kone as his fall back.
