the name "MUJI" is a spin-off from the japanese phrase "mujirushi ryohin," meaning "no brand goods." in the past 20 years, they have developed a worldwide following with an attitude that emphasizes modern and simple materials, processes, and packaging. products are streamlined, environmentally friendly, and beautiful in their simplicity, usually constructed of cardboard and electronic components. MUJI is not only an internationally renowned company, but for many people is a way of life. their first store opened in Japan in 1983 and is hugely popular today [just ask greg -who rocks- over at daddytypes], their principles of design minimalism, use of innovative materials, and economical packaging have attracted the attention of diligent consumers worldwide. MUJI's diligent focus for high quality and economical raw materials includes remnants and disposable materials. these ideals are upheld in MUJI's manufacturing systems as well, in their attempt to streamline the design process and eliminate over-manufacturing. even their packaging stresses restraint, uniformity and a commitment to reducing waste. available at moma online, portable cardboard speakers $42.00 US size: 3.25h x 3.5w x 3.25"l made in japan. totally diggin' that packaging but it does pose a question......great on design but how about that sound quatlity? hmmm, better look up what everyone is saying.
