Terence Conran The Authorized Biography

Sir Terence Conran has been stunning customers and reviewers for years with his combination of good taste and easy-going style. What the Sunday Times has called his egalitarianism has formed the basis of all his successful business ventures from the Soup Kitchens in the fifties through to the foundation of Habitat and The Conran Shop, and his emergence in the nineties as one of the best restauranteurs in Britain. This beautifully designed and illustrated biography provides an in-depth look at Conran - the man, his empire and his prodigious influence, on both the design and restaurant businesses. It also provides Conran's own analysis of the difficult times when he was forced to sell off the Storehouse Group, and where he is heading now as Britain's most stylish entrepreneur.
