If you thought contemporary design was cold and sterile, take a good look at The Ottawa Collection and let it change your mind. Designed by renowned industrial designer, Karim Rashid in collaboration with BoConcept, this fun collection pays homage to Karim’s 30 years of design that all started in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
The Ottawa Chair is my favourite piece from this new collection. Its leaf like form injects playful into minimal. Karim’s designs just make me happy. 
Meet Karim in the video below as he chats about the Ottawa Chair and his collaboration with BoConcept.
I’m also in love with these Ottawa Cups. I will probably get a few or more.
This unique fingerprint rug is so fun! Do you think it is Karim’s fingerprint? Bring in the CSI!
I really like Karim’s design philosophy. Objects should elevate the human experience, not be obstacles to it. Learn more about his thoughts on design in this short video.
You can see the whole collection and what’s new this spring in BoConcept’s fun and interactive March 2012 newsletter. Click here.
