It's the second year in a row that champagne-maker Veuve Clicquot has invited well-known product designer Karim Rashid to make something unique. Last year, he did a pink S-shaped loveseat, and this time he's created the Globalight, a curvy carrier that keeps a bottle of bubbly (pink, of course) cold while illuminating it in a soft halo of light. It looks beautiful, but seems destined to sit on six local collectors' mantles, because that's how many pieces are available here.

A pool-side party was held on Wednesday at the Island Shangri-La - complete with a synchronised swimming team and girls in orbs on the water for entertainment - for the pink-wearing Rashid, who loves a good design challenge.

'I get bored easily,' the Egyptian-Canadian confessed. 'I'm working on 110 projects at the moment. I'm trained in industrial design, but I do everything. I was going to study architecture, but it's too time-consuming. Fashion is the fastest. You can draw something and then it's done. But at least with a building, it lasts. I mean, I worked on a phone for 21/2years and their shelf life is, like, four months.'
