Summary:
He talks about:
- His favourite products
- The worst designed product he owns
- His design heroes (and why)
- On the lack of experience when creating a product and turning that to an advantage (see below)
- On creating a prototype and patenting your physical product
- Speed of execution when creating a product
- Why hand dryers are not quiet
- Why he believes design and engineering is inseparable
An interesting opinion from Dyson on the lack of experience:
> "I think a lack of experience is a great help. An expert thinks he knows it all but he's also rather inhibited by his experience, his knowledge. He finds it difficult to steer off the well-known path.
> Whereas if you have a lack of experience, but huge curiosity, and you approach your new challenge with naivety, I think it's easier for you as inexperienced designer to come up with something different and to follow a different path."
- elil17 5y ago“I think a lack of experience is a great help.” A great quote from someone whose vacuums don’t work very well. He’s an expert in product user interfaces and marketing. His vacuums and air purifiers are great at that and not so much at doing the job they’re meant to do (the old air multiplier fans before they added filters and the original air blade designs are, of course excellent).
