White coats don’t fit the designer image

I would like to point out that the “boffins in white coats” referred to in our press release and picked up in your Ear-wigging column (DW 7 February) did not apply to the designer – Isis – but to the scientific product development researchers who work for Paper:Mate. I am well aware what designers look like as I work in a studio full of them!
