Dear Gentle Reader:

in search of Values....

Welcome to Design + theory, The Art of Interior Design, an online journal of interior design committed to an ongoing dialogue as to the ethical, cultural, and poetic components of interior design. and a reason to buy that supports the marketplace in a way that has personal value and meaning.

I am convinced that the act of inhabiting is the a priori human emotional motivation for our entire well-being, and therefore that nothing is more important to us than that which relates to habitation.

I look forward to your feedback.
