THE CONRAN SHOP
After Habitat, Sir Terence Conran created the Conran Shop, his own line of shops, in 1973 in London, in which he wants to show both great design classics and the young designers’ creations. In Paris, he settled in the former warehouses of the Bon Marché designed by Gustave Eiffel. The Conran Shop is a successful alternative between the mass consumption design like Ikea or Habitat and the design in unique pieces or in numbered series presented in galleries.
