RKS Wins Three 2009 Spark Awards

Spark has announced that three of the 2009 Spark Awards winners featured in a new exhibition at San Francisco's Autodesk Design Gallery were awarded to world-recognized strategy, innovation, and design consultancy RKS.

On Thursday, October 29th, the Autodesk Design Gallery in San Francisco hosted a "Celebration of Design" to showcase the winning selections.

"Even with the Bay Bridge shut off for repairs, we had a good turnout, including Ravi from RKS, Yves from Fuse, Sam from HP, Kit from Studio Hinrichs and many more good solid designers who make up the true 'creative stimulus' of our community," said Peter Kuchnicki, President of the Spark Design Awards.

"It was a wonderful event, combining the opportunities to see some of the world's best designs and mingle with talented colleagues," said Ravi Sawhney, RKS founder and C.E.O.

"We're delighted to have our designs which span the spectrum from sustainability to sustaining lives, honored by Spark."

RKS was honored with a Spark! - a "best of the best" level award - for Laundry POD, an innovative, eco-conscious, hand-powered laundry device.

Intended for hand-washables and small "in-between" loads, Laundry POD's spinning action gently washes, rinses, and then extracts water to improve drying times.
