Whipsaw creates a super-rugged outdoor eco product
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 17 -- Whipsaw Inc, a design firm specializing in creating innovative products for companies around the globe, announced the inclusion of its Eton Scorpion radio in the Pasadena Museum of California Art's California Design Biennial: Action/Reaction exhibit, opening July 18. Whipsaw's Eton Scorpion radio is an emergency radio charged via hand crank or solar panel, which works when the grid fails to function. Another of Whipsaw's creations, the FR600, is on display at the Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt. Action/Reaction is an exhibition that highlights the most significant and innovative designs being created in California. Great works of art are often inspired by challenges and adversity, and this exhibition will focus on how California's designers are responding to current economic, political, and environmental challenges. "We are honored to be a part of this prestigious collection of design work. Scorpion exemplifies our commitment and interest in addressing public, personal, and environmental well-being through design. We're happy to land our products in museums, but even happier to see these products helping thousands of people around the globe," said Dan Harden, President of Whipsaw Inc.
