New York, NY — NewBay Media’s Residential Systems magazine has selected the finalists for its sixth-annual Resi Awards, which honor the most innovative industrial designs of products in the custom installation industry. An esteemed panel of independent judges selected this year’s noteworthy finalists from an impressive collection of entries. For a slideshow of the finalists, click here.
“In our sixth year of honoring the best industrial designs in the CEDIA channel, I couldn’t be happier with our finalists,” said Jeremy Glowacki, editorial director of Residential Systems. “These products demonstrate that ergonomics, intuitive functionality, and elegance of design do not need to be compromised in a down economy.”
Resi Awards judges have recognized finalists in each of the competition’s 14 product categories. Each category winner will be announced at the 2009 Resi Awards reception, held at 5 p.m., during CEDIA EXPO in Atlanta, Georgia, September 9, 2009, in Room C205 (next to the press room) of the Georgia World Congress Center.
