Believing that an object - no matter how prosaic and ubiquitous - deserves a beautiful design, Rashid has to his portfolio the credit of over 400 international awards and more than 400 designs in production, including the iconic Garbo trash can for Umbra, Kaj Watch for Alessi, Blob Lamps for Foscarini, the Lava Lounger for Vondom, and many more.

Curated by Pramiti Madhavji (Consultant, Content Adviser, STIR), UNSCRIPTED is a STIR-original series of quick-witted video interviews with 30 leading design professionals who give us an undiscovered peek into their lives. A melting pot of quests, revelations and quirks, the series spans 30 weeks with a release every Sunday as designers reveal unheard and unknown nuggets from their lives, in response to 30 questions.
