Karim Rashid's concept design was showcased at the Hotel Show last month. The hotel room, in an array of pastel colours, has no corners and one centrally placed piece of furniture which combines the functions of a bed, desk, seating and table. The rounded shape of the room, which is easy to clean, allows for corner units to house the bathroom and wardrobe area as featuring the latest technology including a glass window which can be set to clear or opaque, while serving as a television screen at night.
