Why the Fork: Everyday design for curious minds

Do you ever find yourself staring at a tin opener, washing machine or backpack and thinking "how did this end up like this?", "Who decided this was the best design" or even "How on earth did this come to be?!"

Why the Fork is dedicated to looking at the hidden stories of the mundane objects in your home, that have an illustrious and fascinating past.

Join Creative Innovator and inventor of consumer goods, Ben Diamant, as he explores the forgotten history of objects you probably use everyday, without even a second thought.

Everything in your home has been designed by someone or a group of people over a number of years, but on the whole the people and the stories behind them go untold.

Ben is also talks to Phil Staunton, a Product Innovation Strategist and Founder of D2M Product Design on each episode. Together they explore the future of these products and where they might end up in years to come.
