Globalove Armchair is Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting 2025 Winner

• 
  nspired by the idea of purity and the reduction of forms to the essential which ideally recall those of “Mother Earth”, the Globalove armchair designed by Karim Rashid stands out for its comfortable and enveloping seat and a highly original profile.

  Resting on the ground, the seat takes on the configuration of a circular band, which incorporates the backrest and houses the cushion.

  Karim Rashid’s design style also emerges in the combinations of covers which can be either contrasting and perfectly typical but also equally capable of integrating harmoniously with other furnishing elements.

       

  In 1949, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) organized the “Prize Designs for Modern Furniture” to encourage the best of contemporary design by exhibiting the most notable examples in the furniture industry thereby stimulating production by manufacturers for the mass-produced market.

  Seven decades later, Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design are relaunching this historic event.
