I first became aware of Jeremy's food when he was head chef of Terence Conran's Blueprint Café, which was above the old Design Museum in Shad Thames. Nowadays, of course, he's in charge of the kitchen at the revered Quo Vadis in Soho.No one seems to have a bad word to say about Jeremy, and Jay Rayner describes him as ‘one of those rare phenomena in the London food world: a chap everyone agrees is a good thing.His cookbook is simply called Cooking, which sums up his warm-hearted and simple approach to food. I was fascinated to find out more about Jeremy's life via the homes he's lived in, from the modern house his parents built, which was shaped like a wedge of cheese, to the flat in a converted factory where we recorded this episode.It turns out that his approach to interiors is as artful as his presentation of food – as if each element has been dolloped off a spoon and landed in exactly the right place.This episode was recorded at Jeremy Lee's east London home.For more: Visit The Modern House website to see images of the spaces discussed in this episodeWatch Homing In, the film series.

British-Nigerian designer Tolù Adẹ̀kọ́, who founded his London-based Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co in 2014, is known for his compelling design narratives that nod to his childhood in Lagos, Nigeria. He moved to London at the age of 6, and it wasn't long before Adẹ̀kọ́ started sketching furniture and clothing that caught the eye of his teachers and landed him a slot in a summer product design program led by Terence Conran.  His resumé includes stints with United Design Partnership and David Collins Studio, where he helped design Waldorf Astoria Lusail, Doha's outpost of Italian restaurant Scarpetta. Today, along with his eight-person team, he is crafting luxe interiors for a forthcoming fleet of cruise ships and designing a scullery inside a London men's hostel where residents find community in cooking and eating together.

Welcome to episode 158 of the House Guest podcast, where Country & Town House Magazine's Interiors Editor Carole Annett chats with experts from the world of interior design and decoration. My House Guest this week is Tom Dixon, known as a restless innovator who rose to prominence in the mid-1980s as a maverick, untrained designer with a line in welded salvage furniture. While working with the Italian giant Cappellini he designed the widely acclaimed ‘S' Chair and Creative Director at Habitat rejuvenating the brand while maintaining Terence Conran's vision of enriching everyday life through simple, modern design. In 2007, he launched Design Research Studio, a design and innovations agency at the heart of Tom Dixon, now based at Coal Office in London's King's Cross, which operates as an office, shop, workshop and restaurant all under one roof. We chat about his love of making things, which includes food, hence his collaboration with chef Assaf Granit - Coal Office is their food and design playground, rich in material, style and flavour. He also has a wry take on his early designs: ‘After 20 years in the business, I still feel young and there's a lot to do, it's both fabulous and depressing that my stuff is now being sold in antique shops and occasionally a car boot sale'. Tune in for more.

Christopher Peacock began his career in London during the early eighties, working at Terence Conran's furniture store in London.He launched Christopher Peacock Cabinetry in 1992, quickly establishing itself as the paradigm of beautiful hand-crafted classic British cabinetry, but made to order in the USA.

“Le design pour tous“ de Prisunic à Monoprix, une aventure françaiseau MAD, musée des Arts Décoratifs, Parisdu 2 décembre 2021 au 15 mai 2022Interview de Marianne Brabant, assistante de conservation au département moderne et contemporain et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 1er décembre 2021, durée 14'31.© FranceFineArt.Communiqué de presseCommissariatMarianne Brabant, assistante de conservation au département moderne et contemporainLe Musée des Arts Décoratifs célèbre l'histoire du design pour tous à travers deux des plus grandes enseignes de distribution d'objets du quotidien qui ont su démocratiser le design : Prisunic puis Monoprix.L'exposition « Le design pour tous : de Prisunic à Monoprix, une aventure française » retrace dans les collections permanentes du musée, à travers plus de 500 oeuvres (mobilier, objets et affiches publicitaires), cette aventure créative et engagée, que résume le slogan devenu culte : « Le beau au prix du laid ».Elle revient sur les plus grands succès des collaborations initiées dans les années 1960 par Prisunic et poursuivies par Monoprix, avec des designers de renom comme Terence Conran, Marc Held, India Mahdavi, Constance Guisset ou Ionna Vautrin, mais aussi des graphistes, photographes et illustrateurs parmi les plus créatifs de leur époque, tels Roman Cieslewicz, Friedemann Hauss et des stylistes, tel Alexis Mabille. La scénographie a été confiée à l'architecte et designer India Mahdavi, qui a elle-même collaboré à deux reprises avec Monoprix.Née en 1931, la chaîne de magasins Prisunic introduit en France, dès 1946, le marketing selon le modèle américain grâce à son nouveau directeur Jacques Gueden et a su démocratiser, dès la fin des années 1950, le mobilier et l'habillement contemporains de qualité. « Le beau au prix du laid » devient le slogan officiel, créé par Denise Fayolle, directrice du bureau de style de 1957 à 1967. L'enseigne impulse les premières collaborations avec des créateurs. S'y côtoient les grands noms du design et du graphisme parmi lesquels Terence Conran, qui participe au premier catalogue de vente en 1968 présentant mobilier, luminaire et vaisselle que l'enseigne, pionnière par sa formule de vente par correspondance, met habilement en scène. En 1997, Prisunic fusionne avec Monoprix, animé par une volonté égale de rendre le design accessible à tous : l'enseigne, qui réaffirme « le plaisir de vivre à la française », occupe dès lors une place de choix dans le quotidien des consommateurs.L'exposition, thématique et chronologique, est conçue en deux parties : la première, consacrée à Prisunic, s'illustre par des collaborations majeures initiées avec des graphistes et designers que les catalogues de vente par correspondance diffusent entre 1968 et 1976. Le second volet met en lumière les réalisations phares de créateurs invités par Monoprix en reprenant un thème cher à l'enseigne – l'objet du quotidien – à travers l'art de la table, l'assise et l'habillement. Présenté dans les collections modernes et contemporaines, le parcours propose un dispositif original de « ready-made » (mobilier et présentoirs de magasin utilisés comme systèmes de présentation) qui évoque l'univers de la grande distribution, servi par une scénographie colorée et lumineuse.[...] Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

We spoke about Róisín's love of design and architecture, a formative road trip she took as a teenager and so, so much more. Links:Róisín MurphyThe House BookChapelle Notre Dame du HautCarlo Scarpa

Afshin Mehin is the founder of Card79, a creative studio based in San Francisco and Vancouver, helping companies give form to the future. Consistently blurring the boundaries between our digital and physical lives, he's worked with clients ranging from startups such as Neuralink and Noon Home to large organizations such as Amazon, Lululemon, and Ford. Before setting up Card79, Afshin worked for design studios such as IDEO and Whipsaw in the Bay Area, designers such as BarberOsgerby and Terence Conran in London, and research Labs such as M.I.T.'s Media Lab Europe in Dublin. In this episode, Afshin shared great insights on industrial design, how different it is from product design, and the frameworks to follow to explore ideas for manufacturing a product and reframing problems as opportunities. We then discussed various ways to evaluate product safety, appearance, and function to determine if a design is practical. In the latter part, he spoke on conveying a narrative behind a design to more oversized holders and audiences. Takeaways:- What is Industrial design, How to reframe problems as opportunities, and What different frameworks to explore ideas and bring them to vision.

Gregg Buchbinder is the owner of US-based furniture manufacturer, Emeco. The Electrical Machine and Equipment Company was founded in 1944 and quickly created the 1006 chair for the US Navy. The piece, made out of recycled aluminium, has gone on to become a design classic but its story is far from straightforward. By the time Buchbinder bought the firm from his father in 1998, its factory in Hanover, Pensylvania was on the edge of closure. He pumped its chest with a roster of high profile designers and pieces, starting with the Hudson chair by Philippe Starck in 2000.Since then the company has gone on to work with the likes of Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry, Michael Young, Jasper Morrison and Nendo to name just a few. Not only that but Emeco has been innovative with its use of materials too. In 2010, the company launched a new version of the Navy Chair made from 111 recycled Coca Cola bottles, finding a new use for plastic that otherwise would have been destined for landfill. Further research into the material led it to produce the On & On chair, designed by Barber Osgerby, and so called because it can be recycled endlessly. This is a company with a singular vision – and that belongs to Gregg. In this episode we talk about: manufacturing during a pandemic; the 77 processes (count ’em) needed to create the Navy chair; why it was made from recycled aluminium; working with the likes of Frank Gehry and Terence Conran; his relationship with his father; the shift in client base from the US military to up-market architects and designers; the effect Starck had on the company; collaborating with everyone from Coca Cola to the local Amish community; and taking copycats to court.

Značka Habitat na začátku příštího roku zavírá svůj ikonický obchod na ulici Tottenham Court Road v Londýně. Nikdo jiný neudělal pro britský design ve druhé polovině dvacátého století tolik, jako zakladatel značky Sir Terence Conran. Interiérový designér, podnikatel, autor populárních knih nebo zřizovatel London Design Musea. Terence Conran se ve Velké Británii stal synonymem k moderní kultuře bydlení a designu, které rozvíjel a podporoval na mnoha frontách.

In this weeks episode of Master My Garden podcast which is an open garden feature, I talk to Conall O’Caoimh from Ardán Garden in Howth Co.Dublin. Its a really interesting chat about Ardán Garden and how it is a series of different gardens within the main garden. Originally the garden was broken up with hedging to provide shelter from costal winds, but this breaking up or dividing also created garden rooms which could all be planted in different styles. Conall mentioned a book that inspired himself and Nuala in designing their garden and while the book wasn't accessible during the interview because it was being used to press flowers!! The name of it as promised is "The Essential Garden Book" by Terence Conran and Dan Pearson. Nuala Doherty and Conall O’CaoimhAddress: Ardán, Windgate Road, Howth, Co. DublinMobile: +353 87 972 4271E-mail: conall@europe.comWebsite: https://www.dublingardengroup.com/ardan/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ardangarden/Ardán is situated on half an acre (0.25Ha) of South-facing hillside in Howth (a hilly peninsula on the North side of Dublin Bay).Design is a response to the need for shelter from the coastal winds, so is broken into a series of spaces each planted in a singular style and evoking a different feeling. Meandering paths tempt the visitor in varied directions, each revealing another space, a different planting style and a change of mood. As you move from the house with its formal ‘hot’ and ‘cool’ herbaceous borders around the lawn, the design becomes more contemporary and the planting less formal. It includes a rock outcrop planted with alpines, water garden, vegetable garden, productive glasshouse and a small copse of trees underplanted with shade loving plants.Accessibility: includes steps and some gravel pathsEach area includes opportunities to sit and lingerThroughout the garden are spread unique ceramic sculptures hand-made by Conall in his home studio, and usually some are on sale to visitors. See www.HowthCeramics.comAn extensive plant list is available to visitors.Situated:Situated on Windgate Road, Howth, close to the Summit, precise directions and a map will be given when booking your visit.Open:By Appointment only.There will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website.

Sean Sutcliffe co-founded high-end furniture maker, Benchmark, with the late Sir Terence Conran in the early ’80s, when he was fresh out of Parnham College. Initially, he produced work for The Conran Shop, Heals and Habitat, before helping Terence change the face of the London restaurant scene by creating furniture and fittings for Bibendum and Quaglino’s. Subsequently, Benchmark has gone on to do commissions for the likes of the National Gallery, the Natural History Museum, the Eden Project, Vodafone’s world headquarters, and The Gherkin (or 30 St Mary Axe) to name just a few. Sutcliffe has also collaborated with the likes of Foster + Partners and David Rockwell and has just launched a new chair collection with the up-and-coming designer, Mac Collins. Most recently, the company made all the pieces for the Connected project – organised by the American Hardwood Export Council and on show at the Design Museum until 14 October 2020 – which featured furniture made from designers such as, Thomas Heatherwick, Jaime Hayon, Maria Bruun and Ini Archibong, among others. Starting with a team of three, the firm now employs 70 people. In other words, Sean has built a hugely successful business around skill, craft and, of course, wood.In this episode we talk about: his relationship with Sir Terence; how his love of timber began; studying at the legendary Parnham College under John Makepeace; finding the heart of a craftsman; the future of work; and the importance of apprenticeships.It’s searingly honest and really quite emotional.

Nica Burns, owner of some of the biggest West End theatres, discusses her plan to re-open them in sequence from 22 October, starting with Adam Kay’s one man show This is Going to Hurt and, in November, the hit musical Six. But what about large-scale shows like Harry Potter or Everyone’s Talking About Jamie? Writer Dennis Kelly tells Samira about The Third Day, his new project starring Jude Law and Naomie Harris. It's a psychological thriller, set on an alluring and mysterious island, that's been brought to life through a collaboration between Sky Atlantic and the immersive theatre company Punchdrunk. The drama consists of six one-hour episodes for TV plus a live-streamed twelve-hour event. The Northern Irish writer Jan Carson is best known for her award-winning magic realist novels. But her new work - shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award – is an authentic slice of rural protestant life. She discusses why this community is not often written about and explains why it’s important that their voices are heard now. And in an interview with John Wilson from 2013, the designer Sir Terence Conran - who died this weekend at the age of 88 - remembers how his collaboration with the Italian/Scottish artist Eduardo Paolozzi changed the direction of his approach when he was a young student of textile design in the 1940s.

Louella Boîtel-Gill has many good stories to tell of her career in the interiors industry - from working for Terence Conran and being hand-picked to set up The Conran Shop in Melbourne to designing furniture for Mark Tuckey and being instrumental for that company’s transformation. In today’s episode, we chat in her home “Gypsy Creek” about her journey, and how positivity has helped guide her way.

The second ‘lockdown special’ episode of Material Matters features the excellent Sheridan Coakley. The entrepreneur cut his teeth as a modern furniture dealer before founding the iconic SCP – or Sheridan Coakley Products – in London’s Shoreditch during the mid-eighties. The manufacturer and retailer burst onto the nascent British design scene with pieces by Jasper Morrison and Matthew Hilton. In 1991 it produced the latter’s Balzac armchair, which has gone on to become a bona fide classic. Over the years the roll call of designers Sheridan has worked with includes: Konstantin Grcic, James Irvine, Michael Marriott, Donna Wilson, Rachel Whiteread and Reiko Kaneko to name just a handful. He has legitimate claims to be considered one of the most influential figures in British design over the past 35 years. In this episode we talk about his early days; swapping bubblegum cards with artist Eduardo Paolozzi; meeting Jasper Morrison for the first time (in quite surprising circumstances); setting up business in unfashionable east London; copying classics; the state of British design; oh, and the future of retail. So I hope there’s quite a bit to get your teeth into. (Please note this is a special episode made in really quite tricky circumstances, so the sound quality isn’t quite as good as normal.)

Tessa trained and worked as an architect until 1989 when she joined forces with Emma Biggs at the recently founded Mosaic Workshop in Holloway London. The workshop undertook a range of commissions for public and private clients, including Terence Conran, Baby Spice, the Sultan of Oman, and Aston Villa football club. Tessa has worked on a series of high-profile commissions at Westminster Cathedral and London Zoo and has together with Emma written books about the art of mosaic making. Significantly, Tessa also teaches at Mosaic Workshop an organization in Westminster that helps people recovering from mental health problems to participate in the craft. Tessa has shown that it is possible to produce mosaics of the highest quality, all while contributing to the well being of the group of young adults. Just as mosaics are made up of thousands of pieces of different shapes and colours so too can they be assembled by many hands and many individuals each leaving their own mark. In 2011, Tessa set up her own project in Hackney working with people recovering from addiction and mental health problems. This has been so successful and has produced wonderful public works in Hackney and beyond. Mosaics have been leaving legacies for thousands of years, and Tessa through her wonderful work is leaving hers too. This is Your London Legacy  “I suppose I’m of a generation that started working by hand and then computers came in—and I have a sort of hybrid way of working. “ 4:40 There is little info on how ancient mosaics were made—Romans and the Byzantines didn’t write down and record how their mosaics were made. What we do know is that mosaics were commissioned by the wealthy and often stood as a symbol of power, but some were also made of scrap material and a little less royal in nature.  “Colour was what I missed most.” 9:15 Tessa started off in architecture—but quickly found all the straight lines and lack of color as a drain on her creativity. One of her friends was starting a business making mosaics and Tessa joined her. This was 30 years ago, and since then Tessa has been commissioned to work on all manner of mosaics for all sorts of people and institutions, including the Roman Catholic Church. Her personal favorites are large mosaics—site specific works that blend into a setting and doesn’t fight against anything else. In other words, mosaics harmonious with their environment. “The National Gallery has some of the most fantastic mosaics on the floor—everyone goes to the National Gallery to look at the paintings, but I highly recommend looking at the floors. They are the best mosaics in London.” 23:00 Tessa also started the Hackney Mosaic Project—something that has taken over her life. It started off as a six-month project in 2011 that reached out to those suffering and recovering from mental health problems. Tessa instructs and leads people in recovery to use the time they have as an asset and contribute to public works of art. She isn’t setting out to cure people—but give them a moment in time that can stand for years to come and help give them the satisfaction of making something that lasts. The Hackney Mosaic Project is ongoing and fosters a productive and healthy community—I highly encourage you to dive further into Tessa and the project’s mission at Hackney-Mosaic.co.uk (http://www.hackney-mosaic.co.uk/)   Links Hackney Mosaic Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hackneymosaicproject/) Tessa Hunkin.com (http://www.tessahunkin.com/) Tessa Hunkin.co.uk (https://www.tessahunkin.co.uk/) Support this podcast

Peter Roddy is one of those incredible chefs who has been working in restaurants since he was 14 years old and still exudes passion and delight at cooking. Having spent his formative years working with the likes of the Roux brothers, Gordon Ramsay and Terence Conran, Peter has earned success in every restaurant he has worked in and now has his own hatted restaurant in Richmond.

Stephen Bayley is a critic, columnist, and best-selling author - the original ‘design guru’ and the recipient of “Chevalier de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” - France's top artistic honour. His work has transformed popular perceptions of design; he writes regularly for major publications including Vanity Fair, The Times and The Observer; is Contributing Editor of GQ, and has appeared on many TV shows such as ‘Have I Got News for You’ and ‘Grumpy Old Men’.

This week comedian Nish Kumar joins us in the ‘Quickly Kevin…’ studio to discuss ‘Premier Passions’, the documentary series following Sunderland and then manager Peter Reid’s retrospectively harrowing attempt to establish the club as a Premier League force in the late 90’s. A fly on the wall look at how precisely NOT to run a football club, where boardroom level concerns about bathroom fixtures and Terence Conran designed stadium interiors took precedent over signing a striker capable of competing in the highest division. There are, unsurprisingly, more lows than highs, as the aspirations of club, manager and fans slowly turn to dread with the same traumatically inevitable sense of doom one gets from watching Denis Irwin and Brian McClair double teaming David Busst circa 1996. You can find the episodes we watched here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbPKFiKE4-A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XRiu_z9f10 It was so brilliantly bleak we only managed to watch two of the five episodes, and given the choice of watching the remaining three or being forced to drown a sack of kittens at gunpoint whilst footage of all England’s penalty misses in the 90’s played on loop in the background, we’d obviously choose to watch the remaining episodes. But only just…. There is also an unbelievable story about 90’s legend and Dube maestro Dion Dublin crossing paths with perennial landfill-indie whipping boys, Toploader. Efan Ekoku makes an obligatory (blink and you’ll miss it) cameo mention, plus all the usual correspondence, features, and items you’ve come to endure like the squad player nobody is ever excited to see warming up on the side-lines.

(We’re contractually obliged to say the review doesn’t need to be 5 stars, but you’ve got as much chance getting picked as Steve Bruce did getting a senior cap for England if you don’t leave a five star review. As much chance getting picked as Kevin Keegan did at holding onto a 12 point lead at the top of the table if…..you get the idea) Enjoy the show and we are back next week for episode nine.

The New Elizabethans: Terence Conran. To mark the Diamond Jubilee, James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the men and women who have given the second Elizabethan age its character. Terence Conran has changed the way Britain looks and introduced the concept of good taste and design to the living room in post war Britain. Still working at 80, his career spans a revolution in the restaurant world, the founding of the Design Museum, his home retail and style makeover with the Habitat and Conran stores together with his many books on food and lifestyle. The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of London's Royal Opera House. The panellists were Dominic Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne, Sally Alexander, Jonathan Agar, Maria Misra and Sir Max Hastings. They were asked to choose: "Men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and/or given the age its character, for better or worse." Producer: Sarah Taylor.

With Mark Lawson. Novelist John Irving discusses his new book In One Person, which has, like all of his novels, been written back to front with the ending first. It's a doorstop rather than a novella, but Irving explains that when you're looking at the impact of 30 or 40 years on a life it's hard to be brief. Trade and politics forged a bond between Manchester and the countries of West Africa that dates back to the 19th century. A new citywide festival - We Face Forward: Art from West Africa Today - seeks to update that bond through contemporary art and music.

The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is the designer and entrepreneur Terence Conran.

His first venture was called The Soup Kitchen - and, misled by its name, attracted all the local tramps on its opening night. He'll also be describing how Picasso bought one of the first chairs he designed.
