Recently, P introduced me to Raindrop, a web extension that organises everything into tidy folders. In it, there is a folder where I keep TIG article ideas and that’s where I remembered the home of English designer (and son of the late Terence Conran), Jasper Conran’s, home in Bridport, a market town in Dorset, England.
Built around 1620, the home underwent an extensive remodelling in the late 1600s, when the 17th-century wood panelling (boiserie) was added. It remains today, as well as the stone-flagged flooring also from the time. Conran’s countryside home is a quintessential English cottage dream with ruffled slipcovered sofas and chintz armchairs in the kitchen, seagrass rugs and antique carpets, roaring fires and gilded mirrors; there pleated lampshades and pelargoniums everywhere, velvet-covered settees and balloon shades…
