Japanese simplicity

If you think that form should follow function, Muji might just be the shop fo you. The Japanese store has made simplicity a form of art. All items are stripped from superfluous details until the core is found.

Simplicity does not mean boring or ugly products. The stuff on sale is comparable to other design products. There are no big innovations, but no quirks either.

There are several Muji stores in London, usually at least one on every high street. We visited store on Carnaby street, a couple blocks from Oxford Circus. The store is not the biggest one, but it has all major categories on sale: office items, tools, clothes, tableware and furniture.
