Designer 1: My first proper sort of product that I did at college when I knew that I wanted to be a prototype designer, I suppose, was a toothbrush holder really. I looked at, you know, 'why don't children clean their teeth very often?' So I wanted to come up with a toothbrush holder that was quite fun and that a young three-to-seven-year old child could actually relate to.
On-screen text: The first electric toothbrush was designed in 1961.
Designer 2: I left the Royal College of Arts and I just set up and started working from home, working from my bedroom, and I built up the business from there. And now we employ quite a few people and design some really big projects.
I've worked on products from aeroplanes to toys, from luggage to trains, everything really.
When we were designing the new Virgin trains we wanted less yellow on the front because we didn't think it looked as nice, but then it is quite important to see a train coming towards you at one hundred and forty miles an hour. We would have preferred it to be black but yellow is safe, so that's good. I think you need to understand the mechanics of objects and the way that things go together and then you have to be very creative because we are always trying to design things which are leading the way—to be ahead of the future and desirable objects.
Designer 3: The Nexus was one of those occasions where the designer gets a completely free hand. I mean you look at Nexus and you think: it's a bicycle, whereas in fact it's a motorbike. You have to let your thoughts and fantasies go wild a little bit and be creative sometimes.
Designer 1: Sometimes we have futuristic products where we are doing like mobile phones for five years in the future. So, I mean, just get your pen and paper out and start sketching. There's no sort of limitations on what you can do.
