the UK and overseas. Customers may choose from not only a selection of hand-picked fabrics and a choice of leg options, but also the benefit of our personal upholstery service, enabling you to specify your own fabric or indeed change the dimensions in our collection to complement your existing style. “My ambition has always been to make good design accessible by creating products that work well, are affordable and look beautiful, qualities that I believe are reflected throughout the Content by Terence Conran collection. The greatest thrill for any designer is to see your products on the shop floor and in people’s homes, so I am delighted to find many of our pieces have gone on to become much loved classics. The best design is timeless and at just over 10-years-old, Content by Terence Conran goes from strength to strength and is increasingly popular internationally because it is comfortable, fresh and perfect for modern living”
