As the only daughter of Sir Terence Conran and food writer Caroline Conran, Sophie shares with us what life was like being raised by the man who shaped British design history. Sophie also tells us the story of how she restored her exquisite Wilshire home, Salthrop House, a masterpiece of Regency era architecture and a thoroughly modern family home, designed in her signature interior style.
