Today I introduce, Sir Terence Conran. This is a name that has become synonymous with furniture design around the world. Born in 1931, Conran enrolled at the Central School of Art and Design, London in 1948 however departed in 1951 at the age of 19 to work for architect Dennis Lennon. In 1952 Conran set himself up as an independent designer opening Conran & Company from a basement in Notting Hill. I choose this  Matador Armchair   that was designed by Sir Terence Conran and made in Britain so that's a pretty good combination of style and substance. A distinctive upholstered chair with curved sides and tapered back. Its modern take on the traditional wing back chair with a dynamic thrust to its lines, brings the majestic elegance of a sixties matador to your living room.This armchair comes in a range of different fabrics and leathers. You can find it at Lagoon online store.
