A major exhibition examining the impact on contemporary life of the designer, restaurateur and retailer Sir Terence Conran, who established the forerunner of the Design Museum in 1982. The show examines Conran's influence through the Conran Design Studio, founded in 1956, the Habitat chain of home furnishings stores, which first brought modern design to the high street in the 1960s, and Conran Holdings, a design group with restaurants, shops and an architecture and design practice that operates all over the world. The Conran Foundation has recently donated a cash gift of £7.5 million and the value of the sale of the lease of the current DM building at Shad Thames to help fund the museum's planned move to the former Commonwealth Institute building in Kensington.

Pretty disappointing exhibition - given the breadth of Conran's work this needs to be a lot more comprehensive. Whole group I was with felt it was not worth the £11 entry.
