About
the TV series
Better by Design presents a uniquely revealing insight into
the design process as Richard Seymour and Dick Powell take on six
'design challenges' to improve everyday products - from the kitchen
bin and burglar alarm to the shopping trolley and razor. Produced by
leading independent production company, TV6, the programmes reflect
Seymour Powell's determination to change manufacturers' perceptions
of design from a 'bolt on' after the product has been engineered to
an integral part of the process and to improve the design standards
of the things we use every day.
