Switch Restaurant is a new Karim Rashid interior design project in Dubai, UAE. Like another Karim’s project this interior has a futuristic touch with a symmetrical shape. It called “switch” because the restaurant color can be change continuously, sometimes it colorized in yellow, violet, green even blue. Karim Rashid says “I wanted Switch to be a strong, symmetrical vision composed of a continuous, undulating wall that wraps around the space. The design creates an interesting texture for light and shadow, evoking the sand dunes in the desert. It is a unique environment of symmetry and balance that completely envelops the guests. Every experience is composed of views, smells, tastes and sounds; here, the senses create individual backgrounds for a truly amazing global dining experience. The backlit ceiling artwork consists of stylized inspirational Arabic phrases. The continuous wave seating provides an efficient and dynamic operating system. I wanted to create a powerful, clean space that offers a beautiful perspective. I wanted to create an oasis free from chaos. My intention was to create a truly unique space for the Dubai Mall that will become an iconic reference, not only in Dubai, but also in the rest of the world.” Vist Karim Rashid website here.
