I like a lot of Karim’s products, especially a lot of the low cost ones. He was early on that high design/low cost trend with Umbra in the 90’s before Target went national. Just get past the selfies. 
I’ve met him and spent some time with him and was really impressed by his thinking and how amicable he is. I found him much more personable and friendly than other semi-superstar designers who you read about and he had more thought behind his design decisions as well.
