When the now famously efficient British vacuum company Dyson couldn't find support in its home country for its first bag-less vacuum, it launched the product in Japan. Using the profits from this pastel G-force cyclonic vacuum cleaner, Dyson would enter the British market about seven years later and release the best-selling vacuum cleaner of all time. The historic G-force vacuum from 1986 is now on display at the London Design Museum, as part of a new exhibit that showcases extraordinary stories behind everyday objects. [via Lin Morris]
