Sir Terence Orby Conran CH RDI FCSD (4 October 1931 – 12 September 2020) was a British designer, restaurateur, retailer and writer.[1] He founded the Design Museum in Shad Thames, London in 1989.[2] The British designer Thomas Heatherwick said that Conran "moved Britain forward to make it an influence around the world."[3] Edward Barber, from the British design team Barber & Osgerby, described Conran as "the most passionate man in Britain when it comes to design, and his central idea has always been 'Design is there to improve your life.'"[4] The satirist Craig Brown once joked that before Conran "there were no chairs and no France."[4]
