In this interview with Jonathan Glancey from 2011, the designer, retailer and restaurateur Sir Terence Conran talks about his desire to bring 'intelligently designed products to the mass markets'.
Conran, the founder of Habitat, died aged 88 in his Barton Court home on Saturday.
Among Conran’s proudest achievements was founding London’s Design Museum in 1989, through which he championed education for young people in creative industries.
