'Bayley, the author of books on style, design and taste, tells the
Habitat story with his customary polycultural panache . . . [Mavity
is] good at conveying the experience of being in a room with
Conran' Sunday Times Terence Conran, a visionary and a myopic. A
design entrepreneur and imaginative restaurateur, he was a
democratising idealist who was also a selfish hedonist. His
influence is everywhere in modern Britain from where we live to
what we eat. Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the most
definitive, intimate and revelatory biography of this design
legend, by two of his closest collaborators, Roger Mavity and
Stephen Bayley. Frank, amusing, indiscreet, sharp, rude, respectful
and knowing, it tells Terence's story as it evolved, from before
Habitat's humble chicken brick to Bibendum's sophisticated poulet
de Bresse, via personal successes and corporate calamities,
culminating in that peculiar temple to the religion he invented:
The Design Museum. It celebrates Terence's genius and immeasurable
impact on British life - and ensures his rightful status as
national treasure. Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the most
candid, up-close insight into the man and myth.
