DESIGN: Karim Rashid has been at the forefront of accessible contemporary product design ever since he came up with the world’s most-recognized waste bucket for Umbra. But Rashid’s cool designs don’t stop at fun little familiar soap dispensers. He has just published KarimSpace, a full-colour book (with forward by architect Daniel Libeskind) showcasing forty of his latest top interior design works. We had a chance to peek at a few pages, and it was very difficult to choose only one to share—from a watermelon-evoking chaise-longue to a heavenly hall Barbie herself would love, the eye-candy just kept on giving. Have a look at the rest of the book, and meet the man himself when Random House and Rizzoli Publications hosts Karim Rashid’s Toronto book-signing at the Manulife Centre Indigo Book Store. Indigo Books and Music (55 Bloor Street West), 7:30 p.m., FREE.

When we wrote on Monday about a cute sign made on behalf of the city's rat population, thanking Mayor Miller and the striking unions for the proliferation of garbage around the city, we wrote that the artist whose signature was at the foot of the image, "madame HAIR," seemed to be, "sadly, human." She is! After seeing her work on Torontoist, she emailed us to tell us the big news: more of her rats are coming.
