Designer Karim Rashid has completed the interior of a restaurant in Dubai, called Switch, the restaurant is arranged along undulating walls that change colour continuously. The ceiling is decorated with Arabic writing, lit from behind.

“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. 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.”

The Scandinavian design company Aurumania will be launching the world’s most lavish and expensive bike. But it will only be a tiny, exclusive group of people who can become the owners of these gold bikes, which each bear a price tag of €80,000. That’s because only 10 will ever be made, all numbered. Each bike is hand-built, and then plated with 24-carat gold and generously adorned with more than 600 fine Swarovski crystals. The handlebar grips are made of hand-sewn, chocolate-brown leather, and a moulded Brooks leather saddle provides exactly the right nostalgic touch.
