Karen Cinnamon in Design Week: 25 March 2010

Following the speculation that James Dyson is being lined up for a role in a potential Conservative Government, Design Week asked Karen Cinnamon, who in the design world she would most like to see enter politics and why:

"I’ve dined in his restaurants, flopped on his sofas, and been inspired by his out-of-the-(Habitat)-box thinking. It has to be Terence Conran, our very own design superhero whose Bauhaus-inspired beliefs that ‘“good design should be available to the whole community, not just to a few”, and extraordinary flair for business and visionary innovation, would make him my candidate. I’m confident he won't be claiming expenses for lunches (or duck houses) at Pont de la Tour".
