‘Best of What’s New’ Award Presented to HLB, EGP for Thermique™ Towel Warmer
posted by at 10:47 AM
Chicago, IL. – Herbst LaZar Bell Inc (HLB), the internationally recognized product design consultancy known for such breakthrough products as the Motorola NFL Headset and the iRobot Roomba Discovery Floorvac, announced recently that the Thermique™ Glass Towel Warmer they helped to design for Engineered Glass Products (EGP) was awarded one of the 2005 “Best of What’s New” awards, sponsored by Popular Science magazine. This innovative towel warmer that mounts to the wall was honored in the Home Technology category.
“The elegant design of the Thermique™ Towel Warmer is the first thing to catch people's attention. Then, once they feel the warmth of the glass, they are amazed,” said Mike Hobbs, CEO of EGP. “Considering the spectacular array of new technology on display at ‘Best of What’s New,’ we couldn’t be more proud that the voters chose this product as one of the best in its category.”
The Thermique™ Towel Warmer is a stylish and efficient alternative to traditional radiator towel warmers. It offers an unparallel design, quick warm-up and consistent heat control. EGP originally joined forces with HLB to design the towel warmer for one of New York’s most prominent hotels, but it’s also ideal for upscale homes and day spas.
Each year, the editors of Popular Science review thousands of products in search of breakthrough products and technologies that represent a significant leap in their categories. The winners are showcased in the much-anticipated December issue of Popular Science, the most widely read issue of the year. The “Best of What’s New” Awards are presented to 100 new products and technologies in 12 categories.
“‘Best of What’s New’ is the ultimate Popular Science accolade, representing a year’s worth of work evaluating thousands of products,” says Mark Jannot, editor of Popular Science. “These awards honor innovations that not only influence the way we live today, but that change the way we think about the future.”
