“I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY TOWARDS MY DREAMS, WHICH ARE LIMITLESS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY I WILL ACHIEVE ALL THAT I DREAM AND MORE AS LONG AS I PUT MY MIND AND DEDICATION TOWARDS IT.” - KARIM ABDUL MUTTALIB

With an unstoppable devotion for his dreams, and with a fiery ambition for his goals, Karim wishes to accomplish all things that people told him was impossible to do. With an eye into the future, his visionary thinking takes him to technology and futuristic interpretation of what’s down the line. “I believe it is the smart systems technology. I would like to see it be integrated into materials and would love to see more improvement in the virtual reality world.” he stated. One of his lingering dreams is to invent a helmet that transforms the brain’s ideas and thoughts into the computer. “This dream has always been with me and it kept me wondering, what if we could transform the imagination of the designer into a 3D Design on computer when they just think of it? What will happen to the design world then?” Karim said. His vision of the current and future trends is heavily influenced by his surroundings, but in his opinion he states that a trend nowadays is the maximalist approach to design. How to create a maximalist approach to a space while at the same time corresponding between materials, furniture, colors, and overall design. Still in regard to the future, Karim also states that the leading way to craftsmanship is the attention to details, as details make everything a whole. When asked on how was the experience to work with some very well known brands, like Covet House for instance, Karim said “It was an amazing experience. Covet House is dedicated, organized, and has a variety of trendy, stylish, and one-ofa-kind selections of furniture which enables us designers to create the perfect relationship between the furniture and the design.” The project developed with the brand was an Opulent Modern Classic Villa in Ryadh, where he describes the inspiration came from the color scheme of grays, blacks and brown, that helped accomplish the dark mood vibe Karim intended to create. A bold pop of gold added to the luxurious feel of the space, a space to dare. The master bedroom represents one of the most important spaces in that project. I aspire to create a connection between the classical and the modern designs. I felt very excited and thrilled working on this project. - Karim Abdul Muttalib Karim’s extensive portfolio and work has already proven by itself to be impressive, but his career is now taking new flights and heights, the future looks very bright for the designer, and CovetED will definitely keep an eye for new and breathtaking projects from him.
