Neat little fact: Karim Rashid, who attended Carleton University, recently designed a collection of furniture and accessories for Bo Concept named after Ottawa. (Perhaps a nod to his past?). I just hope there's a lot more like him coming out of Carleton University.

Great looking chair! How did I not know Karim Rashid went to Carleton?
ReplyDelete:) For some reason, it seems like world renowned public figures (like Karim Rashid and Tom Green) or really successful people (like Kevin O'leary from the Dragon's Den) with some sort of connection to Ottawa don't get much attention in the city. They should be part of the city's brand/identity, but for some reason there doesn't seems to be much interest. It's too bad.
DeleteThanks for this! What a great find. Both Karim Rashid's pieces and Bo Concept. You've got a fantastic blog. Much appreciated and enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
