Beyond the Classics: The New Conran Shop at ABC Carpet & Home

Filed under: Decor

You can spot the new Conran Shop's pedigree in a flash: the design icons - Mies, Starck, Saarinen- are still there. But that's not all. Sir Terence Conran, who opened his first shop in 1973 in London, scours the Milan furniture show looking for the bold and the new. Now he's expanding into eco-design and a whole new generation of treasures with his shop on the lower level of ABC Carpet & Home. Upstairs ABC is what some might call fussy, flirty, and feminine. At the new Conran Shop, the vibe is masculine, cutting-edge, showcasing furniture, lighting, household and specialty items that make you want to deposit what you live with now to the Salvation Army and start over again.

London's Conran design studio, founded by famed tastemaker Sir Terence Conran, has designed a new yacht for British boatmaker Sealine, the T60 Aura. The 60-ft. flybridge motoryacht features Conran's signature clean, modern interior decor. Natural oaks, light finishes, long clean lines and floating, linear forms were used in the open plan design, which gives the illusion of extra light and space. The end result is described as "a tranquil, elegant environment that is highly functional and practical." Details include a teak laid cockpit, an L-shaped leather sofa and hand crafted coffee table in the saloon, and a striking full-width master stateroom with bespoke Japanese Maple wall features and an en-suite bath. Fitted out with twin Caterpillar Diesel C15 engines at 865 hp apiece for a total of 1730 hp, it can do 33 knots.
