Green Sled Design Challenge 09
Radius and IDSA Boston co-hosted their first ever Green Sled Design Challenge 09, a contest that required participants to design and build a “green” sled made of 90 percent recycled materials.
For prizes, the Greenest Award went to team Epic from Ecovative Design for their recycled cardboard sled. Radius took the Best Aesthetic Award with its ironing board sled. Best Overall was awarded to team Dwight Ideas (a Mass Art student team) for a design that combined recycled skis and bicycle parts to create a unique and high performance sled.
Other entries consisted of sleds made of recycled/reused soda bottles, mailing tubes, tree limbs and chairs, among other things. The Co-sponsors were extremely pleased with the results. “The eco-benefit, industry support, and great turnout have us planning a 2nd annual Green event,” said Mario Gonzalez, event organizer and designer at Radius Product Development. “It’s a good way to keep everyone thinking green while having fun doing it.”

Our Radius Chicago team has supported Shure in the design and development of the widely acclaimed line of Sound-Isolating Earphones. This spring, a new earphone model that offers high-quality and aesthetic appeal for less than 100 dollars will brighten up the product line. 
Set to hit shelves in March 2009, the SE115 is a highly anticipated model that is already being praised by category experts for its performance and affordability. To date, it has received a number of industry accolades, including a CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Award in the audio components category, 2009 iLounge Best of Show award, and 2009 iProng Magazine’s Best of Show award.
