2026 TINY
Increasingly there is recognition that high expectations and frantic activity are making us anxious and stressed. In contrast to all this freneticism, the art of mundane living, the repetitive certainty of specific routines and the joy of simply existing feel aspirational.
Dolls’ houses and miniature worlds become proxies for real home ownership for renters, where fantasy interiors are achievable and affordable. The dolls’ house also informs scale; deliberately shrinking proportions, making everything smaller and cosier.
TINY also reflects an invigorated appraisal of craftsmanship. However, this is not high-end, unaffordable craftsmanship, but more about objects with purpose and worth.
This story is about the joys of collecting, not for investment or monetary gain, but for the sheer love of it. Small tokens of past visited places become important; look to pin badges or items of clothing and comfort passed down.
