An exhibition of objects by the internationally renowned designer Karim Rashid continues at Toronto’s OCAD Professional Gallery until January 20. A leading figure in product, interior, fashion and furniture design, Rashid is known for his democratic design sensibility. The Cairo-born designer was raised in Canada and now practices in New York, designing for an impressive array of clients from Alessi to Georg Jensen, Umbra to Prada, Miyake to Method. A highlight of the OCAD exhibition is a custom treatment installed on the gallery ceiling.
