Biography:
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.
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.
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*.
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).
Dyson vacuum cleaners are included in the
permanent collections of numerous museums
including: the London Science Museum, MoMA, New
York, the San Francisco MoMA, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York, and the Centre Georges
Pompidou, Paris.
