Sir Terence Conran is one of the world's best-known designers, restaurateurs and retailers. Born in 1931, he founded the Habitat chain of stores that brought good, modern design within reach of the general population. Through the merger of Habitat with Mothercare and the subsequent additions of Richard Shops, Heal's, British Home Stores and Blazer, Sir Terence created the retail group Storehouse, from which he retired in 1990.
Sir Terence has been responsible for the restoration and interior design of iconic London buildings, such as the Bluebird Garage and The Michelin House. He has also created various London restaurants including the Soup Kitchen, Pont de la Tour and Butler's Wharf Chop House.
