Revista Convergências [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.31, pp.129-138.  Epub 31-Maio-2023. ISSN 2184-0180.  https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.31.165.

Although, in the last decades, there has been significant mobilization of the academic field of Design to expand the thus far existing content, particularly referring to its history, this expansion has not satisfactorily contemplated the history of Interior Design itself yet. The existing literature is not always accessible due to the predominance of foreign publications, which means the natural obstacles concerning the language and the cost, and, even when accessible, the publications are usually limited to biographies of successful professionals or the traditional way of narrating the trajectory of the field, as a succession of styles. Without intending to solve the problem definitively, but with the objective of contributing to the facilitation of access and the expansion of information, this article has proposed to review the existing foreign literature, adopting as a framework the transformations experienced by the activity in their professionalization process. Therefore, it was essential to briefly understand relevant historical contexts in which this trajectory took place, with emphasis on France in the 17th and 18th centuries, England in the 18th and 19th centuries and the American context of the 20th century. The article, thus, resulting from a demand identified by the authors during their teaching practice, sought to contribute with a still little explored theme, in the expectation that other future works will give continuity to a story that needs and deserves to be told.
