KISS, designed by Karim Rashid for TM Leader Contract, is a sofa conceived as a continuous gesture of softness and connection. Its undulating, uninterrupted form flows as a single sculptural line - never broken, always in motion, inviting the body into an immediate sense of ease and intimacy.
The piece is reminiscent of the subtle curvature and tenderness of lips, translated into a spatial experience that encourages closeness and human connection. It is an environment for togetherness, where boundaries dissolve and interaction becomes more natural.
Design should connect us. With KISS, I wanted to create a continuous embrace, an uninterrupted line that holds people together, softens distance, and transforms seating into a shared emotional experience. It is about closeness, about the beauty of an intimate moment made physical, says Karim.
