'The British designer who revolutionised retail and decor.' BBC
news 'Terence Conran was instrumental in the redesigning of
post-war Britain and his legacy is huge..He changed the way we
lived and shopped and ate.' Tim Marlow, Director and Chief
Executive, Design Museum. 'He spent his whole career looking for
ways to make life better for everyone.' Deyan Sudjic, Director
Emeritus, Design Museum In My Life in Design, Terence Conran tells
the story of the Conran brand from the founding of the Conran
Design Studio more than sixty years ago to the creation of the
Design Museum, now based in a dazzling new space on High Street
Kensington. Extensively illustrated chapters consider the many
areas where Terence and his design team made a lasting impact on
the way we live our lives, including the founding of Habitat, which
introduced good, affordable homeware to the high street, his
restaurants, which brought Britain out of the culinary dark ages to
discover the joys of eating out and his talent for rescuing and
regenerating abandoned buildings and bringing them back into
exciting new use. My Life in Design is illustrated with more than
400 images - many from private collections that have not been
published before. The book is introduced by internationally
renowned designer, Thomas Heatherwick, who identifies his mentor
Terence Conran as 'a modernist who, together with a tiny handful of
others, gave us a new vision of Britain and ourselves.' Now in his
eighties and still designing beautiful homeware and opening buzzy,
welcoming restaurants, Terence reveals the secrets and stories of
this transformation of British design. Gloriously lively,
opinionated and visually stimulating, this is the only book to tell
the story of Terence Conran's remarkable career in his own words.
Terence Conran: My Life in Design will appeal to designers,
students and all those who have grown up with the work of the
multi-talented Sir Terence Conran.
