We live in the age of casualism. In the non-stop connectivity of our digital age, there is a blurring of all social and human behaviors, creating this new casual age in which we live in. Home is now work, sanctuary, school, restaurant, and movie theater. With the Kasual collection, Karim creates a perfect balance of comfort, simplicity, stunning beauty, and form. At this age, Kasual collection fits like a glove independently of the setting.

With a curated selection of stunning pastel and vibrant colours that balance together perfectly, as well as typical mid-century materials that come together with a contemporary twist, this collection brings the precision of form and refined detail to a whole other level. At the epitome of design, Kasual collection is the best of both worlds: casual and luxurious, all wrapped up into a selection of incredibly designed furniture and lighting pieces that will bring timeless and precious value to any project.

Karim is known for his cult around the letter K, and every design piece of this new collection starts with this letter or has it in its name. Meet the new incredible lighting pieces!

KROWN CHANDELIER SUSPENSION

The Krown light is a reaction to the chandelier form. It is about sensualizing the glass-removing, the antiquated facets and stereotypes from the history of lighting, still retaining its beauty. It has a geometric design of combined sculptural shades and its structure is handmade in brass. This chandelier shines even when it is switched off, but it gets more beautiful when you see the light being cast through the shades. The curved lighting design will show that it’s no secret the right fixture can change a room immediately. Feel the true statement of luxury with this modern ceiling lamp.

KROWN SUSPENSION

With sculptural shapes and an extremely balanced design, this modern round suspension lamp gets even more beautiful when you see the light being casted through its shades. These elements have a unique curved shape and are handmade in bras, creating a unique lighting effect. The round suspension lamp has a unique appeal that won’t go unnoticed.

KAPSULE SUSPENSION

Kapsule is so sculptural, yet so functional at the same time. It is these kinds of emotional objects that become timeless and precious. This large suspension lamp boasts a futuristic and feminine vibe, making it the right choice for any luxurious interior design project. The brass strips are shaped and assembled by hand by some of the most skilled artisans. Achieving a magazine-worthy yet livable ambience is all about casting the right light. A true example of high-quality craftsmanship, this modern suspension lamp will definitely elevate your home décor or hospitality design project.

KATIA SUSPENSION

This mushroom-style pendant lamp has a brass curved shade and a cylindrical body, evoking an upscale 70s feel. A pendant lamp that was first made available in 2021, however, it could easily be mistaken for a vintage find from a European flea market. This mid-century modern lamp is more oblong than other mushroom-style lamps, due to its unique silhouette we likely won’t come across often.

KATIA TABLE

This mushroom-style table lamp will always rank highly as a top choice for modern lighting. It boasts a stunning brass shade with a dazzling lighting effect that will emphasize volumes and shapes, creating contrast and depth. A mushroom-style table lamp doesn’t take up much room. This decorative accent provides a very specific solution for spaces where we need extra light, but don’t want to hardwire a sconce or pendant lamp. As an ideal choice for your home office, mushroom lamps also make a more charming alternative to utilitarian desk lamps. The modern, mid-century modern and contemporary mushroom-style lamps we can’t help but covet.

DISKO TABLE

Disko is so evocative and rapturous piece that defies gravity by creating an equilibrium of floating elements, providing impact and personality to any space. This unique rainbow-style lamp will burst your heart with joy and hope. Marquee lamps are the epitome of a vintage industrial style look and every bar has them, every fun spot has them. Now, your design project is about to have it too! An eye-catching touch to a big, bold, and bright marquee lamp. A unique way of bringing a colorful and cheerful glimpse to any space. It has a large anti-reflective acrylic panel to protect the neon light and it is the right fixture for a fun hotel lobby!
