• Obituary: Sir Terence Conran

Sir Terence Conran, the man who dragged Britain's front rooms and parlours into the modern age almost single-handed, has died at the age of 88, his family has announced.

A designer, retailer and restaurateur who founded Habitat in 1964, Conran was at the centre of an aesthetic revolution that established England, and London in particular, as a European creative powerhouse.
