Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Stephen Bayley (Author) Nearly forty years ago, Terence Conran plucked Stephen from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. The result was The Boilerhouse Project promoting design at London's V&A museum, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties, and The Design Museum that followed it. Since then, Stephen has become one of the world's outstanding commentators on design and popular culture. Intelligence Made Visible, the book he wrote with Terence, has been translated into fourteen languages. Terence came to Stephen's wedding and complained about the food. Over the years they have often fallen-out, but always fall back in. Roger Mavity (Author) Roger has been hired by Terence many times, and fired nearly as often. First at the French Gold Abbott ad agency where Roger won the Habitat advertising account; then at two more agencies, including Mavity Gilmore, his own business. In 2006 he became Chief Executive of Conran Holdings, Terence’s business empire, where he stayed for seven years.
