Burgon & Ball featured on BBC 2's "The Genius of Design"
Tune in this Friday 7th May at 7.00pm
The Genius of Design is a new six part series that takes viewers on a fascinating journey through the design and production of some of the most significant and iconic products of the modern era.
Burgon & Ball is featured in the first show. Its patented sheep shearing shear is identified as one of the most significant design and manufacturing innovations of the industrial revolution.
This unique product has proved to be so successful and ahead of its time, that despite it now being used by both sheep shearers and gardeners alike, the design and manufacturing process remains virtually unchanged.
The journey takes us from the first factories created by the pioneers of industrialisation through to the studios and production lines of some of the most powerful and influential corporations of the 21st Century.
Featuring contributions from Philippe Starck, Stephen Fry & Alberto Alessi, The Genius of Design makes compulsive viewing – we suggest you make a date for 7pm this Friday, BBC2.
