The T1 Armchair began its legacy in 1967 when it was purchased by Sir Terence Conran for his influential contemporary design store ‘Habitat’. It quickly became one of the company's most popular models and ushered in a new era of modern furniture.
Inspired by Bauhaus principles, constructed from tubular steel and upholstered with deluxe coach hide leather the T1 is both lightweight and strong. Today it is regarded as a true British design classic and one of the best examples of post war high-tech design.
