Born in Cairo and raised in Canada, Karim Rashid brings an inventive duality and a global sophistication to his Magino Collection (2005). Expanding the ghostly product line is his new Magino Coffee Table. Simply shaped, the inch-thick clear acrylic presents a playful alternative to heavy, boxy tables. The table quickly dissolves into any environment and leaves an unobstructed view of anything beyond or below the table surface. With both his Magino Stool/Magazine Rack and the new Coffee Table, the U-shaped table legs double as holders for magazines or other print material.
