Aileen Kwun

‘Writing is like growing out hair: always slower than you’d like,’ finds Aileen, ‘while editing’s like giving it a cut. You need a good head on your shoulders to start with either way.’ She also sees her specific métier, design writing, as wrangling with strands: there are ‘many threads – labour, science, social history – that tie into an object’. For The World of Interiors’s October 2024 issue, Aileen visited Alex Tieghi- Walker’s craft gallery.
