Japanese miniaturize Ikea
Muji is a chain of Japanese clothing and furnishings stores, featured in William Gibson's Pattern Recognition as a place where none of the goods have any labels or logomarks. The furnishings are really interesting -- made from recycled carboard and similar materials, and designed to go into miniscule Tokyo flats, Muji furnishings are like Ikea for itty-bitty pads. Unfortunately, it seems like most of the good stuff is only available through the meatspace stores, not on their e-commerce site. Link Discuss
