Sir James Dyson is on a mission to reignite British design and engineering after opening the Royal College of Art Dyson building.

Last week, he gave us over an hour of his time, the best of which we condensed into this four-minute long video. Read More >>
In addition to making vacuum cleaners that suck, and hand-driers that blow, Dyson also grooms young designers by supporting them with the annual James Dyson Award, which asks students around the world to invent a product that solves a problem. They've just put the call out for this year's awards, which will net the winner £20,000. Read More >>
