Marks and Spencer
24 March 2011
Marks & Spencer today announces a new partnership with Conran & Company to design, under the guidance of Sir Terence Conran, a contemporary Home collection available only at M&S from September 2011.
This supports the strategy set out by M&S in November 2010 to better segment its Home department, under ‘lifestyle' categories - Classic, Contemporary and Design.
The new Conran Exclusive Design only at M&S collection will form the basis of the Contemporary offer and will include a wide range of home products incorporating furniture, bedding, lighting and kitchenware.
Designed by Sir Terence Conran and his team, in collaboration with M&S product developers, the collection will retain the quality and value customers expect from M&S, coupled with the unique Conran design signature.
Marc Bolland, Chief Executive, M&S said: “I'm very proud to announce our exciting new collaboration with Britain's most influential designer, Sir Terence Conran. I've long admired the work of Sir Terence - his name is synonymous with exquisite modern design and he was the natural choice of partner to help us create our Contemporary homeware range.”
Sir Terence Conran said: “To work with M&S on this project is the opportunity of a lifetime. It gives us the chance to produce a truly democratic and British collection, something that I have been aiming to achieve all my working life. Everything that William Morris and the Bauhaus, both great inspirations to me, hoped to achieve. This is our chance at last. Our discussions with Marc Bolland and his excellent team at M&S have been incredibly productive and inspiring and we cannot say how thrilled we are to be working on this serious design project.”
The preview collection will be available in stores and online from September 2011. Further roll-out will continue throughout 2012 and the collection is expected to build over time to form a large part of the M&S Home department.
