MUJI

MUJI was founded in Japan in 1980 to realise a vision – to offer products useful to the customer, while retaining balance between life and the objects that make it possible. The concept was born via the intersection of two distinct ideals: no brand (Mujirushi) and the value of good items (Ryohin).

Our focus is to create simple, quality products by thoroughly reviewing manufacturing processes and everyday life. Specifically, we examine each item through three core principles:

1. Selection of materials

2. Streamlining of processes

3. Simplification of packaging

MUJI’s emphasis on the intrinsic appeal of an object through rationalisation and meticulous elimination of excess is closely connected to the traditionally Japanese aesthetic of “su” –– meaning plain or unadorned –– the idea that simplicity is not merely modest or frugal but could possibly be more appealing than luxury. The essence of a MUJI product lies in its flexibility and modesty to fit different lifestyles and individual preferences.
