Terece Conran / Portrait |
His sheer energy as a designer, entrepreneur and dealer shook Britain’s stuffy design establishment to its foundations in the early sixties. The shockwave then moved to France, the country he adores, with the opening of the Habitat store chain, whose selling techniques were as innovative as the products on sale. After losing control of his company on the Stock Exchange, he won success with a new range of products and his new chain of Conran stores. His exceptional talent made Sir Terence Conran the first
British design professional to be awarded a knighthood. |
