Very Small Caf s and Restaurants features 40 projects from around the world by such designers as Wonderwall, Marti Guix , and Thomas Heatherwick. Almost all of the establishments featured measure less than 150 square metres so the designers must make a big impact with very little space. The book will be inspirational for designers faced with the challenge of a tiny caf or restaurant, as well as for independent food retailers looking for fresh new ways to present their product.
