LONDON—Terence Conran, the British designer, retailer, and restaurateur who built a furniture empire around the word, founded The Design Museum in London, and modernized the everyday lives of British people, has died at 88.
In the family statement released by The Design Museum, his family described Conran as a “visionary” who “revolutionized the way we live in Britain.” They said Conran died peacefully at his country home Saturday in Barton Court, west of London.
