Sophie Conran belongs to one of Britain’s most creative families, a design dynasty that has shaped the way the world lives, eats, and designs. The daughter of Sir Terence Conran, who transformed everyday living through Habitat, The Conran Shop and countless visionary ventures, and Caroline Conran, an influential food writer and co-founder of Habitat, Sophie grew up surrounded by an extraordinary blend of artistry and practicality. Her brother, Jasper Conran, has become a global name in fashion, interiors, and hospitality, from his eponymous collections to his exquisite Moroccan retreat, Villa Mabrouka.
Yet Sophie has always charted her own path, bringing the Conran spirit of design for life into a more intimate, soulful realm. Through her work as a designer, cook, gardener, writer, and entrepreneur, she has built a world that feels both timeless and personal, a reminder that true beauty lies not in perfection, but in care.
Her brand, SophieConran.com, embodies this philosophy. It’s a home for the things that make life gentler and more joyful: handmade-to-order sofas, tactile ceramics, thoughtful homeware, and small luxuries designed to last. Her digital community, over 270,000 on Instagram and millions more across platforms, follow her not for trends, but for the feeling her world evokes: warmth, belonging, calm. Hers is a brand that people trust, not only because of its aesthetic, but because of the heart that runs through it.
Sophie’s creative collaborations include her award-winning Portmeirion collection, now an international classic, Burgon & Ball garden tools, Arthur Price cutlery, and an evolving partnership with John Lewis, where her made-to-order sofa collections have become customer favourites. Most recently, her collaboration with Dreams brings her philosophy of comfort and craft into the bedroom, celebrating rest, balance, and home as sanctuary. Loved by her audience for her generosity of spirit and unmistakable authenticity, Sophie Conran continues to shape a uniquely human vision of modern living, one that connects design with feeling, and beauty with the art of truly being at home.
