Karim’s distinctive style permeates through and through interior and architectural projects he has worked on including the Semiramis hotel in Athens, the nhow hotel in Berlin, the Poli House – Tel Aviv Hotel in Israel, and Morimoto restaurant in Philadelphia, to name a few.

Karim holds numerous coveted awards for his work: Red Dot award; Chicago Athenaeum Good Design award; Interior Design Best of Year award; and the IDSA Industrial Design Excellence award, as well as honourary doctorates for his contributions to the design world.
