Terence Conran, inventor of accessible design

Sir Terence Conran (1931-2020) invented accessible design. A designer, restaurateur and publisher, this Briton founded the Habitat chain in 1964, revolutionising European furniture by democratising good design: light pine furniture, simple tableware, colourful textiles, all at reasonable prices. He also signed his own furniture under the Conran Shop label, opened iconic London restaurants and participated in the creation of London's Design Museum. A total body of work that shaped contemporary Western taste.
