MUJI Award 03 by Max Gold
Design junkies take note, MUJI just announced the launch of its third MUJI AWARD International Design Competition.
The theme for this year's awards is "Found MUJI," which is about discovering the benefits of old wisdom, and translating these ideas into design that works in tandem with our modern lifestyle.
The inspiration of the competition and the seriousness with which it is judged (not to mention last month's opening of a MUJI store in a new Times Square location joining the SoHo spot) is further proof of the retailer's growth and influence.
The entry period for this year's competition spans the month of July.
