KGB Limited — *the considered writing of interior design and the spaces it shapes*.

Most interior design coverage operates within established commercial frames — the gallery review, the showroom feature, the seasonal trend roundup. These have their place. None examines with much care the longer questions that distinguish substantial design work from competent decoration.

This is a small, considered publication for the longer second look. The makers whose work outlives trends. The materials whose quality reveals itself across decades rather than seasons. The slow rhythms by which substantial interior environments come to be. Long sentences when they earn it; short ones when they do not.
