You are the beginning.
Your wants, needs, lifestyle and identity.
And knowing how to connect with you is what distinguishes Kaufman Segal. Yes, we understand good design takes a sharp eye, technical knowledge, and advanced experience. But that's not enough. Look through our portfolio. You'll see how we turn words and ideas, dreams really, into realities--leather, silk, architecture, environment.

From construction to custom designed furniture, fabrics and finishes, Kaufman Segal Design is full-service. We know what it means to live in a room. We know how to capture a tailored timelessness that--traditional or contemporary--is beautiful, functional and ultimately, unquestionably you. Just get us started.

David Kaufman received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Drake University, Des Moines. After working with Paul Granata Interiors, he started his own firm in 1990. He has been an Illinois Licensed Interior Designer since 1989.

Tom Segal, currently President of the Board of Governors of Harrington College of Design, has a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Master of Architecture from The University of Illinois at Chicago. He started his own firm in 1995.

Each with his own business, David and Tom began collaborating. By 1996, it was clear the synergy they had was unique and should be more permanent; Kaufman Segal Design was born.
