From artist's website: "Karim Rashid is one of the most prolific designers of his generation. Over 4000 designs in production, over 300 awards and working in over 40 countries attest to Karim’s legend . . . From Desginwanted website: "Karim Rashid, the designer who wants to change the world. Born in Cairo and raised in Canada, Karim Rashid studied in Italy and lives in New York, where he runs his private studio: a real citizen of the world, his creativity declines in interiors, lighting, fashion, furniture and even books. Karim is the poet of colored plastic design and straightforward persona. As one of his bestseller books claims, he wants to change the world, one curve at the time with design as a catalyst for improvement."
