Our story
The Essence
Small, established in 2020, serves as the design research, branding, and publication studio for ATOMOS ATELIER, a design firm founded in 2023. Our expertise spans architecture, interior design, and furniture and product creation. At the core of our creative process lies an instinctual approach—where intuition leads. We continuously explore, deconstruct, and refine ideas, working in an iterative cycle until we craft a solution uniquely tailored to each project. Every piece we produce is an intricate narrative, encapsulating the story of its creation.
Our research
The Substance
The essence of culture is deeply rooted in its locality. Wood, as a material, profoundly moves and inspires us—it embodies the spirit of Kerala's heritage. Through 'thachu-sasthram,' wood becomes a storyteller, echoing the region's rich history and craftsmanship, where remarkable skill was devoted to the creation of unassuming yet deeply meaningful objects, furniture, and architecture.

The Premise Of Scale
“Nor of the small is there a smallest, but always a smaller. All things have a portion of everything. Since there cannot be a smallest, nothing can be separated or come to be by itself.” Anaxagoras. Every whole is composed of parts, and each of these parts contains their own layers of depth. We relentlessly pursue meaning in the finest details—whether through color, materiality, or craftsmanship. Both Atomos and Small are a derivative of this idea of the parts.
