Never Too Small x Melb Design Week 2024

As we move towards more compact living spaces, finding innovative ways to accommodate our furry friends is quickly becoming essential. šŸ¾

Melbourne Design Week 2024 – Highlight – ā€œMultifunctional Pet Furniture for Small Space Livingā€ presented by Never Too Small and Like Butter was an absolute delight!

This showcase explored how pet owners can create beautiful, functional sanctuaries for their pets without sacrificing space. With around two-thirds of Australians sharing their homes with pets and a notable increase in pet registrations in Melbourne, this exhibition couldnā€™t be more timely.

Never Too Small collaborated with 11 talented designers worldwide to create multifunctional pet furniture from a single piece of plywood.

These designs are not just pet houses or bedsā€”they transform into storage units, seating, shelves, or planters. Itā€™s a brilliant example of how smart design can prolong the life of furniture typically seen as single-use.

Special thanks toĀ Colin Chee for personally walking us through each brilliant concept and sharing the stories behind them. Truly an unforgettable experience!
