SOPHIE CONRAN ~ DESIGN IN WEST SUSSEX

Interior designer Sophie Conran is no stranger to the world of design. The daughter of Sir Terrance, she is known internationally for her knowledge of design. Her emporium in Notting Hill, Wong Singh Jones, was her first business, and she has since designed homeware for Country Road.  In 2006, Conran designed her award-winning tableware for Portmeirion. She has also been asked to design cutlery for Arthur Price, wallpaper for Arthouse, lighting for John Lewis, and Crystal for Royal Worcester.

Conran owns a flat in London which is furnished with modern decor. When she found this country home, she planned to use an eclectic mix of furnishings. Because Conran is a former antiques buyer for The Conran Shop, she knows where to shop for the more traditional furnishing. She also raided her mother's and brother's attics.

In addition to the many pieces purchased by Conran, the new home has two large Terrence Conran sofas, a grand piano,  a chest of drawers.  Her kitchen table was a wedding present from her father.

Her personality and training show through in this beautiful home. ENJOY!
