Miyake

Dyson, the company which brought style to the world of cleaning through the medium of garish colors, has teamed up with fashion designer Issey Myake for a new limited edition handheld vacuum cleaner.

As if that weren't strange enough, it seems that James Dyson has already been working on clothes with Miyake, resulting in The Wind, a collection shown in Paris last week. Trivia fact:

The material used by Dyson for the yellow 'hoses' in the set is more commonly used for police dog training or extracting exhaust fumes from aircraft.

The vacuum cleaner will go on sale in November, and is nothing more than a regular Dyson DC16 with a custom paint-job. £100 ($200).
