RBI
AWARD
WINNERS
One
need
look
no
further
than
the
ubiq-
uitous
iPhone
or
almost
any
other
prod-
uct
from
the
Steve
Jobs
-led
design
team
at
Apple
to
understand
that
industrial
de-
sign
sells
a
lot
of
product.
Proper
engineer-
ing,
of
course,
is
essential
to
any
success-
ful
product
in
the
custom
installation
business,
but
what
turns
heads
and
over-
comes
objections
from
heads
of
house-
holds
is
a
beautifully
crafted
product
that,
if
pulled
out
of
its
element,
could
almost
be
a
work
of
art.
Those
are
the
types
of
product
de-
signs
that
the
Resi
Awards,
sponsored
by
Residential
Systems
magazine,

"I
was
truly
amazed
this
year
when
the
entries
started
pouring
in.
Even
in
a
down
economy
we
had
a
record
number
of
entries,"
Glowacki
re-
called.
"It
said
to
me
that
not
only
is
our
awards
program
really
taking
off,
but
that
