KOMB HOME

Karim Rashid’s Komb home offers up a slice of the future in the here and now. Its fluid shape and dynamic lighting is achieved by a series of offset fins made of reclaimed wood that filter natural light while creating dimension from the fins’ shapes and shadows. The Komb home is eco-friendly and features rainwater harvesting, radiant heat flooring, greywater recycling and LED lighting. But the eco-factor doesn’t keep it from being luxurious: Above the center plunge pool, kinetic art collects power from the wind and a skylight lets plungers contemplate a future earth in natural balance
