Slated to be showcased during Milan Design Week 2010 in April, the “Smart-ologic Corian Living” by Canadian designer Karim Rashid is a sustainable housing concept that includes a futuristic kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room enclosed in gently undulating walls. Designed for DuPont Corian, the organically shaped home incorporates the versatility and sensory quality of the materials and home design solutions finished in environmentally sustainable bio-sourced components and recycled materials from the company, allowing the residents to lead a sustainable lifestyle.
Featuring gentle colors from the current range, together with colors from the 2010 series of DuPont Corian, the futuristic home reduces the carbon footprint of the residents but without compromising on modern luxury. Moreover, the sustainable home will include DuPont building integrated photovoltaic modules and Tyvek woven membranes, along with DuPont Energain panels to reduce energy consumption.
