Bruce E's Profile

I became aware of Terrence Conran when I went for the first time to Conran's store in Georgetown Park Shopping Center in Washington. It was a true discovery moment when I realized that what I vaguely thought I liked but couldn't define very precisely was right before my eyes in the store: furniture with clean lines and made largely of blond wood, accessories that were simple, understandable and made for people who, while they might not have had a lot of money, wanted good design. I still have my floor mirror and steeplechase bed and they remain my favorite pieces of furniture. Bruce Ebert, Norfolk, Va.
