Muji Over Baby

If the late summer has made you consider fleeing the country to remote lands rather than return to your asbestos ventalated office cubicle we can relate. But if you can't bring yourself to pack a suitcase and hop a plane to Tokyo Station we suggest immediately downing a couple Ambian throwing in Lost in Translation or Akira and drifting off to the best sleep a doctors pad can perscribe.

When you wake up we'd like to inform you that sadly no you still here, far from Tokyo. But Muji, the Japanese home and deskware company is expanding. Formerly only with locations in the Far East and the EU, the company has been testing the waters recently in the US with its' outpost downstairs in the Moma Design Store, Soho. Now there is word that they will be opening a stand alone 10,000 sq ft. store in Manhattan in the near future.
