About
Terence Conran studied textile design in London, and worked with Eduardo Paolozzi before joining the Festival of Britain team in 1951. He went on to set up furniture company Habitat in 1964, as well as The Conran Store in 1972 – with both going on to become international retail brands. Through The Conran Design Group, Conran and his team also produced restaurant and hotel interiors as well as homeware, and the designer was responsible for the creation of several high profile restaurants in London and beyond. Over the course of his life Conran received a long list of awards, including a 1989 D&AD President’s Award.”He not only changed the way we lived, he changed the way we ate, he changed the way we looked at design,” wrote John Hegarty in an obituary for the designer, who died in 2020.
