Design Exchange 2011 Canadian Honourees are Karim Rashid, Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, whose works and achievements were celebrated at Binary, the Design Exchange’s annual Black & White Fundraising Gala on November 12, 2011 at the DX. Each year the Design Exchange honors exceptional Canadian designers who are advancing the world of design.
“Design Exchange has chosen to honour these three Canadian designers for their individual and collective achievements that have propelled them to international acclaim and helped brand Canada as a design-led nation,” says Design Exchange Chairperson, Tim Gilbert. He also notes that “Karim, Hani, and Lise Anne are role models for all aspiring young architects and designers, but especially to young women and newcomers to Canada.”
