This is the domain of Sir Terence Conran, who has been informing British taste since he opened Habitat in the '60s. Home enhancers from furniture to stemware -- both handmade and mass-produced, by famous names and young designers -- are displayed in a suitably gorgeous building that is a modernist design landmark in its own right. The household articles are almost objets d'art. The Conran Shop on Marylebone High Street, Marylebone W1, has similarly beautiful wares.
