For MIDJ, Karim has designed the Kosmos pouf collection, that he describes as follows:

“I always say that I look at the world like I am from another planet. I would like to have my country house on the moon. So, for MIDJ I created Kosmos, a floating rock of softness and serenity. Objects that are minimal yet comfortable. Growing up in the 60s and 70s everyone was so optimistic about the future, with great experimentation for form and technology. That vision continues to inspire me today to add progressive objects that embrace the human touch to the physical world. The modular form of Kosmos creates a sensorial, relaxed environment for everyone.”
