MUJI opening in SF

One of my favorite retailers MUJI is finally opening in SF this week on Friday Nov 30th. It's been a long wait, as NYC was the only US location for the longest time. I admire the clean, minimalistic aesthetic, renowned Japanese functionality and, hopefully, moderate prices. They also seem to partner with great designers like Naoto Fukasawa, who designed this iconic CD player.

How much do I like MUJI? So much, I searched out the retail store when I was in Rome last summer....and overpaid in euros for a travel pouch.

World's Thinnest House

As seen on Design Milk's website, the world's thinnest house by Jakub Szczesny in Poland. It's an amazing 4 feet wide.

The glass ceiling certainly adds a sense of space for those feeling it would be too claustrophobic. I love this type of home, which could add livability to tiny spaces in large crowded cities like Tokyo and NYC, maybe even SF.
