Never Too Small Magazine Issue 4 takes colour as its central argument — tracking how pigment, pattern, and chromatic intensity shape not just compact interiors but the cultural identities and emotional registers of the people who inhabit them.
About This Book
This fourth issue from Never Too Small moves the conversation on small-space living into more charged territory: colour as architectural force. Spanning Madrid, Naples, New York, Kuala Lumpur, and Sydney, the issue assembles a genuinely eclectic cast — from gon architects' sensual bathroom spaces to the deliberate chromatic chaos of La Fotosintesi's Neapolitan interiors. There are deep dives into Memphis Milano's maximalist legacy, Luis Barragán's poetic use of pink, and Ricardo Bofill's Walden 7, with its terracotta-and-turquoise monumentalism. Alongside the architecture, contributors including collector-curator Ben Mooney and street photographer Paul Kessel expand the issue's scope into styling, culture, and the lived experience of colour in compact design.
