Silk Road by Karim Rashid

Franco-Egyptian expert on interior design, Karim Rashid, presented the arrangement of a new restaurant called "Silk Road” in Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas. The restaurant is large, it has 220 seats for guests, and a surface area of 8700 m2. The interior style is different from the "pink-candy" which Rashid is famous for, but it is still in curved and twisted forms. Warm colors prevail in the restaurant - purple, orange, red and yellow. This presents a huge challenge to other designers.
