A Habitat of a liftetime

Terence Conran – The Way We Live Now is a major retrospective marking the designer’s 80th birthday.

Held at the Design Museum, London, until March 4th, the exhibition explores Sir Terence’s impact on contemporary life in Britain; tracing his career from post-war austerity through to the Festival of Britain, the birth of Habitat in 1964, the design boom of the 1980s and on to the present day.

In addition to examples of his and other designers’ work, there will be recreations of rooms associated with Conran including a view taken from a Habitat catalogue and the study from his home at Barton Court.
