Fuego 01 Grill Wins International Awards for Its Innovation in Design
The recently-launched Fuego 01 grill has received international attention from two of the world's most prestigious design competitions. Recognized for its breakthrough design, innovation and aesthetic, the Fuego 01 is a recipient of the 2006 "Good Design Award" presented by the Chicago Athenaeum and a "Product Design Award" from the International Forum.
Robert Brunner
The revolutionary new grill was created by award-winning designer Robert Brunner, formerly director of industrial design for Apple Computer. Brunner's product designs have won 23 IDSA Awards from the Industrial Designers Society of America and he has been widely published in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in both New York and San Francisco.
Alex Siow
Alex Siow, Fuego CEO, is also no stranger to the spotlight. He has received media acclaim nationally for his ability to start up successful companies such as Zephyr Ventilation, manufacturer of high-end ventilation hoods.
"We are honored to be recognized by two of the most esteemed design competitions in the world," said Siow. "We will continue to challenge the status quo as we bring new products and design concepts to the market."
