Packaging Designer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Packaging Designer at The Conran Shop in London. We are a leading luxury design retailer offering a covetable edit of furniture, lighting, home accessories and gifts from some of the most respected and up-and-coming designers around the world.

In March last year, British businessman Javad Marandi OBE acquired the business from Sir Terence Conran with a vision to continue his legacy and ensure that his work and guiding principles endure for generations to come; this is a great moment in the history of our iconic brand, and we look ahead to a bright future.
