An exhibition to celebrate the 80th birthday of the founder of the Design Museum. It traces his career through his earliest work at college and Festival of Britain in 1951 to setting up Habitat. Conran was influenced by his mum who wanted to remove all the clutter from the house and this informed his belief in good, clean, simple design. If, as Bill Shankley said, simplicity is genius Terence Conran is a genius. He was certainly hugely influential in helping to introduce modern design to the UK.
