James Dyson
Feted by the UK Government and with Honorary Doctorates from 11 UK universities, the designer, James Dyson, is a man who likes to make things work better. His first product, the Sea Truck, was first launched in 1970 while he was studying at the Royal College of Art. Subsequently it has netted sales in excess of $500 million. Shortly after, in 1974 he designed the award-winning Ballbarrow, an “easy to steer” wheelbarrow that can get to places normally inaccessible to the more traditional wheelbarrow. In addition, there have been the Wheelboat, the Trolleyball and even the integral hose found on most upright vacuum cleaners. However, he is probably most famous for his revolutionary "bagless vacuum cleaner". This case study examines the Dyson company.
