Casual Elegance in Cool by Karen Harris

USA

USA

Casual Elegance is a play with negative space that I love so much. I am always inspired by the shapes of objects. This design is based on a large scale ball chain necklace that I own. But instead of focusing on the object, I make the object come alive by focusing my attention on adding color to the spaces between the objects.

About Karen Harris

My name is Karen. I have a degree in architecture and have had a rewarding career in architectural design, commercial and residential interiors, graphic design, product design...all things design...and what it all comes down to is this...I just LOVE shapes. and not only do I have this crazy love affair going on with shapes, the shapes made BETWEEN the shapes gets me pretty excited too. Sometimes I will move the elements of a design around until the motifs and the spaces between the motifs are "talking to each other".
I always try to create this balance between opposites. I am a self-proclaimed "gapbridger" My work is playful yet sophisticated, organic yet organized, modern yet traditionally grounded and very, very androgynous (who says guys don't like prints?)
I love bringing together my passion for architecture, graphic design, illustration, and interior and product design in a way that is relevant, unique, modern and fresh. You can find my work gracing the surfaces of many products including area rugs, gifts, home accents, stationery products and tech accessories.
