Part of MUJI’s concept is to go to the boundaries of design while maintaining their simple philosophy, which has made them a staple not only within Japan but also elsewhere. This latest project with the iconic block maker, LEGO is one example of how MUJI can appeal to new consumers as well as excite existing ones. The project has culminated in a collection of stationary items which combines LEGO’s traditional block’s in paper format providing something completely new to LEGO’s existing products. Via:(Slamxype)
