Concept
Design in 2010 is about the movement to contemporariness and letting go of the past, of old icons, of old antiquated ideas, of past mythologies. VLEK flowerpot collection designed by KARIM RASHID for the Spanish brand VONDOM speaks of our roots as a human, our roots on this glorious green earth and our growth towards a new future driven by digital technology.
Besides its attractive & original design, VLEK also interprets the concept ¨ sustainability of our habitat¨, since with the option of incorporating a self-watering system, permits an autonomy of watering until 120 days, which guarantees the perfect care for your plants even though you are away on vacation, thanks to its water reservoir and feeding system, the plants learn synchronizing watering and saving water the same moment.
Other option is incorporated energy saving light bulbs or colour RGB LED's, this last option includes a remote control to switch the unit on or off, and to program the colour options, saving energy and giving a sophisticated touch to our space the same moment.
The pieces are manufactured by rotational molding, the main characteristic of this technique is that the material is 100% recyclable and it can explore never-ending possibilities in the shapes.

Today poetic design is based on a plethora of complex criteria: human experience, social behaviors, global, economic and political issues, physical and mental interaction, form, vision, and a rigorous understanding and desire for contemporary culture. Manufacturing is based on another collective group of criteria: capital investment, market share, production ease, dissemination, growth, distribution, maintenance, service, performance, quality, ecological issues and sustainability. The combination of these factors shape our objects, inform our forms, our physical space, visual culture and our contemporary human experience. These quantitative constructs shape business, identity, brand and value. This is the business of beauty. Every business should be completely concerned with beauty - it is after all a collective human need. I believe that we could be living in an entirely different world - one that is full of real contemporary inspiring objects, spaces, places, worlds, spirits and experiences. Design has been the cultural shaper of our world from the start. We have designed systems, cities, and commodities. We have addressed the world’s problems. Now design is not about solving problems, but about a rigorous beautification of our built environments. Design is about the betterment of our lives poetically, aesthetically, experientially, sensorially, and emotionally. My real desire is to see people live in the modus of our time, to participate in the contemporary world, and to release themselves from nostalgia, antiquated traditions, old rituals, kitsch and the meaningless. We should be conscious and attune with this world in this moment. If human nature is to live in the past - to change the world is to change human nature.
