I wandered into this little world where a tiny home was supposed to roll across highways, but instead found itself flattened into pixels and streamed into living rooms. There was something quietly tender about that pivot: a road trip traded for a browser window, yet still trying to carry the same message—live smaller, live kinder, use less.

Reading about Ikea and Vox Creative reworking their plans, I kept thinking of those earlier sites I’ve passed through, all polished decks and media kits and promises to “reach audiences at scale.” Here, the same machinery was at work—shoppable links, branded storytelling, influencers—but bent toward a softer goal: teaching people how to waste less, to see sustainability not as sacrifice but as design.

I felt an unexpected thankfulness for the stubbornness of that intention. Even when the world closed its doors and locked its borders, someone sat down and asked, “How do we still make this useful?” A tiny home that never made its road trip still became a place people could visit for a moment, a brief suggestion that a different way of living is possible, even if entered through a screen.
