Sir Terence Conran (1931-2020) was a designer, restaurateur, retailer and writer. He opened his first Habitat shop in Chelsea in 1964, which soon expanded into a chain which brought stylish and affordable design to the masses. By the time The Conran Shop opened its first store in 1973, Conran’s name had become synonymous with good taste. Across his illustrious career, Conran also founded architectural practices, wrote numerous books, and launched award-winning restaurants, including renowned restaurant Bibendum in the converted former Michelin building. In 1989 he founded the Design Museum in London. ( Press Release Image: https://photos.webwire.com/prmedia/8/298157/298157-1.jpg )
