<div><font face="Futura" size="-2" color="#000000">A member of the
British Design Council, James Dyson has been designing products-since
graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1970. Both an entrepreneur
and relentless creative industrial designer, James is dedicated to
developing technology to make everyday products work better.<br>
<br>
James developed the cyclonic technology that made Dyson the first and
only bagless vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction. Five years and
5,000 prototypes after his original brainstorm, Dyson launched the
DC01, which became the top-selling vacuum in the UK within two years.
Dyson vacuums are presently available in 37 countries and are the
best-selling vacuum cleaners in Western Europe.<br>
<br>
James' newest design is the Dyson DC15 - with The Ball
technology is Dyson's most significant advancement since his creation
of a vacuum cleaner that doesn't lose suction. The Ball has
taken three years to develop and has 182 patents*.<br>
<br>
James Dyson has received awards worldwide for technology innovation
including: the Industrial Design Prize of America, the European Design
Prize, and L'Etoile de L'Observeur du Design (France).</font><br>
