Never Too Small - Issue 7

We all need a little extra joy in our lives now, right? Well, there are bucketloads of joy to be found in issue 7 of our magazine and it all starts with our kookiest cover yet.

Our cover stars, Thali and Gabi Zukeram (AKA Two Lost Kids), have been dazzling us for some time and we are delighted to have them on our cover sharing their story and colourful tiny apartment with you. (Do yourself a favour and tumble down the rabbit hole that is their Instagram page for double the joy.)

We also take you inside another creative home belonging to ZUZU, an Italian visual artist, whose "cave of dreams" features a kitchen splashback decorated with tiles she hand-painted herself. Each one is a mini artwork themed around things that make her smile.

There are more tiles that will make you smile too. Spanish tile makers Bussoga share the lightbulb moment that came for them when they realised no one was putting private parts on tiles. "That's where we saw our place in the market," they say.

There's more joy to soak up in Camille Walala and the Memphis-esque boldness she brings to cityscapes around the world, as well as the infectious energy of Clay and Rory, the duo behind Will it Lamp? Ever wondered how to make a lamp out of a vase or a bamboo salad bowl? These guys have got you.

From Barcelona-based punk product designer Curro Claret turning citrus sacks into fruit bowls and church pews into beds for people sleeping rough, to emerging textile designer Luna Haverkorn making small-space-friendly furniture only limited by your imagination.

We've also curated three contrasting beauties for you: a calming and light-filled Melbourne apartment renovation, an artfully decorated and art-filled DIY Barcelona apartment and finally, an experimental cabin-like family home in Kanagawa, Japan that embraces circular design.
