on his design, has been written and designed in
collaboration with Rashid and
includes essays by a handpicked, stellar list of contributors.
About the Author: Karim Rashid is the best-known and most
prolific young designer practicing in America today. On the brink of household-name
celebrity, he is already a superstar among design aficionados. Rashid was born
in Cairo and raised in England and Toronto.
With a career that began at age nineteen, Rashid is
now forty and the author of more than two hundred designs, ranging from coat
racks to mailboxes, perfume
packaging to lighting, tableware to high fashion. His Garbo trashcan, just

acclaim. His work is in the collections of museums worldwide, including The
Museum of Modern Art, New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and The
