Terence Conran is someone I admired hugely. When I saw the retrospective of his work @DesignMuseum it really made me think about the importance of early learning. theguardian.com/culture/2020/s…
When he was a child, Conran spent hours working with wood in the shed. I think that early and deep experience of wood really shaped his work as a designer.
He also sadly cut off a finger (I think) which perhaps reminds us of the importance of getting risk/benefit analysis right? @timrgill - perhaps it’s also an indicator of his resilience that this didn’t hold him back?
In a similar vein - I think you can better understand Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture when you appreciate his Froebelian kindergarten experience with hollow blocks @FroebelTrust
