In anticipation of the DVD release of BBC’s show, The Genius of Design, the first two episodes were available in full to watch online. It has been getting a lot of attention on blogs, but some might pass on a sixty minute Vimeo session.

It’s worth checking out – the episodes do a great job at outlining the beauty that lies in ergonomics and functional design in our everyday lives.

You can get your hands on the DVD through bbcshop.com
