To coincide with Sir Terence Conran’s 80th birthday, the Design Museum is hosting a major exhibition celebrating Conran’s contribution to, and influence on, the world of design.

Showing Conran’s unique impact on contemporary life, the exhibition includes not only his own designs, but also those he has commissioned from others, and those he has been influenced and inspired by. It traces the transformation of contemporary Britain from post-war austerity to the new sensibility of the 1951 Festival of Britain, the birth of the Independent Group, the Pop explosion of the 1960s, the design boom of the 1980s and on to the present day.

The approach is thematic, with key sections focussing on Conran’s impact on domestic life, food, the garden, education and culture. The display features archive material, original designs, art, models and graphics.
