Winning the prestigious IDEA Award and the coveted GOOD DESIGN Award in 2001, the Rabbit Corkscrew may be the most decorated product design in its category. Reported in the June 25 issue of Business Week, the Idea 2001 Awards were presented by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). The Rabbit was chosen as a winner by a panel of renowned industrial designers from thousands of international entries. It was one of only seven housewares products worldwide that earned awards for designers in the U.S., Switzerland and Sweden.

In December, 2001 the GOOD DESIGN Award, sponsored by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum, was given to the Rabbit as one of “The World’s Best and Most Innovative New Product Designs.” International in scope, the GOOD DESIGN Awards were judged in 2001 by a jury of leading Finnish designers convening in Helsinki.

Vendor Details

Metrokane

Owner:: Riki Kane
Founded:: 1983
Location:: New York, NY

Metrokane was founded in 1983 by Riki Kane who had been an advertising copywriter and a syndicated journalist, creator of the popular newspaper word game, “Wordy Gurdy.” While travelling in Mexico, she purchased a manual citrus juicer, which she brought home to squeeze her morning orange juice. She was surprised to find that manual juicers had been extinct in the U.S. since the advent of electric citrus juicers in the ‘50’s. Convinced that the manual juicer is superior to the electric kind, she re-introduced it to the American market with a classic retro design called “The Mighty OJ.” Metrokane’s Mighty OJ Juicer was an immediate success in department and specialty stores around the country.

Initially, Ms. Kane ran the business from her apartment—expanding her line of juicers and fighting a long, but ultimately successful legal battle against Mighty OJ imitations (called “knock-offs” in the industry). As the company expanded, she was joined in the business by her husband, Bob Larimer, who had recently sold his advertising agency to a large company.
