BSi Wins IDEA Gold

The RidgeRunner

August 01, 2008
ALLENTON, WI – The RidgeRunner™, designed by Brook Stevens and Long View Enterprises, LLC, received the Gold IDEA Award in the 2008 International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) competition presented by the Industrial Designers Society of America and sponsored by Business Week magazine. Thanks to the RidgeRunner™, installing roof trusses is no longer a dangerous, clumsy job. It not only increases worker comfort and safety, but also increases efficiency and saves money. According to Jesse Cotterman, lead industrial designer on the project, the RidgeRunner™ represents what Brooks Stevens is all about. “We’re very good at developing manufacturable products based on end-user feedback that don’t compromise on design aesthetic and brand identity.”
