Terence: The Man Who Invented Design
Autor Roger Mavity, Stephen Bayleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2022
Terence Conran, a visionary and a myopic. A design entrepreneur and imaginative restaurateur, he was a democratising idealist who was also a selfish hedonist. His influence is everywhere in modern Britain from where we live to what we eat.
Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the most definitive, intimate and revelatory biography of this design legend, by two of his closest collaborators, Roger Mavity and Stephen Bayley. Frank, amusing, indiscreet, sharp, rude, respectful and knowing, it tells Terence's story as it evolved, from before Habitat's humble chicken brick to Bibendum's sophisticated poulet de Bresse, via personal successes and corporate calamities, culminating in that peculiar temple to the religion he invented: The Design Museum. It celebrates Terence's genius and immeasurable impact on British life - and ensures his rightful status as national treasure. Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the most candid, up-close insight into the man and myth.

Recenzii
Bayley, the author of books on style, design and taste, tells the Habitat story with his customary polycultural panache . . . [Mavity is] good at conveying the experience of being in a room with Conran
Juicy . . . interesting
A close reading of one of the most influential men in design history by two of his closest allies and collaborators, Stephen Bayley and Roger Mavity. There is a brutal honesty about the way in which they have painted their late colleague and friend . . .
Compelling . . . gossipy and entertaining
[A] fascinating personality, captured here - both affectionately and critically . . . A terrific read, bubbling with anecdotes and insight
Irresistibly spiky . . . fun . . . rollicking
A must-read
The contradictions in Terence Conran's character shine through in this profile by a former protege whose book is a mixture of scoresettling and affection
It's a masterpiece
'Bayley . . . tells the Habitat story with his customary polycultural panache . . . [Mavity is] good at conveying the experience of being in a room with Conran' Sunday Times
Terence Conran: a visionary and a myopic. A Francophile who could not speak French. A democratising idealist and a selfish hedonist. His was a life of contradictions, simultaneously a national figure and an enigma.
A design entrepreneur and imaginative restaurateur, his influence is everywhere in modern Britain from where we live to what we eat. He made it his life's work to escape suburban mediocrity, and to help the rest of us escape too.
An astonishing life, if not a contented one, Terence leapt from one idea to the next: he was a furniture manufacturer, a hotelier, an author, educator and patron. He married and separated from four women, fathered five children, made several enemies, antagonised countless shareholders, provided thousands, possibly millions, of column inches, and smoked over £1 million worth of cigars.
Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the definitive biography of this design legend, by two of his closest collaborators, Roger Mavity and Stephen Bayley. Frank, witty and revelatory, it tells Terence's story as it evolved, from before Habitat's humble chicken brick to Bibendum's sophisticated poulet de Bresse, via personal successes and corporate calamities, culminating in that peculiar temple to the religion he invented: The Design Museum.
Providing an authentic and intimate insight into his life and legacy, Terence celebrates his genius and immeasurable impact on British life - and ensures his rightful status as national treasure.
