At Whistle Design Group, we believe that great design doesn’t just solve problems—it redefines possibilities. That’s why we’re thrilled about our entry into the 2025 Good Design Awards, our latest collaboration: the Worx+ Grindworx King Series Concrete Grinders.
About the 2025 Good Design Awards
The Good Design Awards is one of the most prestigious and longest-running international design awards in the world, celebrating excellence in design and innovation since 1958. This year’s theme “Rewarding, Defining and Celebrating Better ______.” invites designers to explore what “better” means in today’s world, whether it’s better products, services, systems, or experiences
The 2025 Awards will culminate in a celebration of design excellence at the ICC Sydney on 17 October 2025, following the rigorous judging process that took place from May to July. The program includes a new Concept Design discipline, highlighting early-stage innovations that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Whistle’s Entry: The Grindworx King Series Concrete Grinders
In partnership with WORX+, Whistle Design Group proudly presents the Grindworx King Series—a bold reimagining of concrete grinding equipment. Designed for professionals in the construction and surface preparation industries, the GK-700 and GK-850 grinders combine raw power with intelligent automation and ergonomic finesse.
Key Features of the King Series
- Split-Chassis Enclosure Design: A modular structure that enhances serviceability, transportability, and control over grinding pressure—improving surface finish and reducing operator fatigue
- Advanced Automation: Integrated sensors and a 22kW permanent magnet motor deliver real-time feedback and intelligent control, allowing operators to fine-tune performance on the fly
- Remote Control & Autopilot: The King Series RC models feature a unique radio control system with one-press U-turns and reverse autopilot, bringing cutting-edge tech to mobile surface manufacturing.
- Human-Centred Design: Every touchpoint—from controls to intuitive access panels—was designed with the user in mind, ensuring comfort, and efficiency in demanding environments.
A New Benchmark in Industrial Design
The King Series made its global debut at World of Concrete 2025 in Las Vegas, where it was met with acclaim for its innovation, usability, and bold aesthetics. For Whistle Design Group, this project exemplifies our commitment to designing for performance, people, and progress
Looking Ahead
As we await the results of the 2025 Good Design Awards, we’re proud to stand alongside other innovators who are shaping a better future through design. The King Series is more than a product—it’s a testament to what’s possible when engineering meets empathy, and form meets function.
