About &Premium:

"The Guide to a Better Life," declared the first issue of &Premium magazine in November 2013. Since then, each issue has been dedicated to creating a magazine that helps you live a better life, including fashion, interior design, daily necessities, beauty, food, travel, and culture. We have tried to create a magazine that helps people to relax and feel the joy of being in contact with beautiful things, to value each and every detail, to get to the essence of things, to take the time and effort, and to do things that are good for the body. Our basic policy is to be happy if we can live comfortably as a result.

In this issue:

"Live Small & Well"

"Small and cramped" conditions, which are often perceived as disadvantages, can become advantages that lead to comfortable living if viewed from a different perspective and with some ingenuity. For example, compact living space enables us to properly identify what we need. It is also very pleasant to know that what is where is within clear and reach. And when you have a better outlook on life as a whole, don't you think that your lifestyle and way of living will eventually become clearer? This issue of “Living in a Small Home” is a book about living in a “small home. Whether you are building a house that brings a sense of openness to a limited space or arranging a small room in a rented house in your own way, you can be sure that you will be able to live a compact life. This is a collection of examples of fun, small dwellings that will make you want to choose a compact lifestyle.

This magazine is in Japanese.
