Exhibition MUJI, Piece by Piece

In pursuit of a pleasant way of living, MUJI has always made things that are rooted in everyday life. Every product has its reasons — behind each shape, there is a quiet "why".

Why this material?
Why this shape?
How is it made, and how is it meant to be used?

Many layers of careful thought and decision lie behind the finished products we see every day: the choice of material, the method of manufacturing, the form, the function, the price. What you will find here may, at first glance, seem like nothing more than ordinary materials and parts. Some products have been taken apart, piece by piece; others have been returned to their original material state.

By taking our products apart, this exhibition sets out to uncover the reasons behind MUJI (Wa-ke) that are hard to see in the finished product. Why this material? Why this shape? Why this structure? We invite you to look at these items, not as products, but as the materials and parts that come before them. From there, we hope you will discover for yourself the thinking and values that shape MUJI.
