Never Too Small Magazine Issue #3

Issue 3 of Never Too Small magazine is a deep dive into the world of Japanese design—a place that continues to inspire with its contrasts, craftsmanship, and cultural richness. Guided by creative lead Nam Tran, who spent nearly a decade in Japan, this special issue explores everything from folk art to futuristic living, featuring vibrant Tokyo apartments, timeless interiors, and the late Samiro Yunoki’s lasting influence on the mingei movement. Blending design, architecture, and lifestyle, this edition also includes insights from Sir Paul Smith, a cheat sheet on Japanese interior style, and a curated Tokyo travel guide with local-approved itineraries. With bold visuals by illustrator Grace Lee and stories spanning tradition and modernity, Issue 3 is a love letter to Japan—thoughtful, joyful, and deeply inspiring.
