Never Too Small is a quarterly publication that takes a curious, fun and playful look at experimental and sustainable design, small-footprint living, urban life and culture. #6 is preoccupied with longevity and legacy... but in a very Never Too Small kind of way. From shapeshifting furniture to hot coffee pots and unkitchen-y-kitchens. We also trap one of our writers into attempting to establish The Very Unofficial and Definitely Not Definitive Principles of Timeless Design. Plus: an emoji quiz, pull-out artwork and the coolest ever 90-year-old living in the coolest ever apartment.
