Muji Tokyo Midtown

The next evolution of Muji? Sure, everyone’s talking about Muji’s upcoming flagship store in New York, but I’m more excited about the just-announced Muji Tokyo Midtown store, set to open March 30, when the Tokyo Midtown complex launches. According to the official site, this store is not going to stock your regular Muji goods, but instead is set to carry furniture where price is not a concern (i.e. expensive), with the focus on timeless design. Is this finally the result of last year’s buyout of the IDÉE brand? You can bet I’ll be there at launch to check things out.
