The 'Bespoke' Issue

With Guest Editor Yasmine Ghoniem, we are launched headfirst into the world of unique and eclectic design. From architecture to interiors, there is nothing that can’t be enlivened with bespoke interventions. Granted, a stunningly beautiful home can be made by simply shopping for the best, but when the artist’s hand is introduced, some pure magic is possible. Whether it is an artwork or a new upholstery, a built-in component or a mosaic inlay, these gestures, whether bold or subtle, are what make the home unique.

MUJI’s Micro-home project makes owning a home in the countryside possible

MUJI has unveiled its latest project Muji Hut, a series of tiny prefab homes encapsulating the ethos of the Japanese minimalist retail brand.


The project was launched as part of Tokyo’s annual Design Touch event at Midtown Garden, where the collection of three prototype micro-homes – Cork Hut, Aluminium Hut and Wooden Hut – were placed throughout the park for people to interact with.

Exploring what it means to live a more sustainable lifestyle through minimalism, the tiny (and affordable) homes offer an environment that contains only the bare essentials – a place to cook, to wash and to sleep. MUJI describes the project as an “escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.”

MUJI created the Muji Hut in collaboration with designers Naoto Fukasawa, Jasper Morrison, and Konstantin Grcic. According to Spoon & Tamago, prices will range from $25,000 to $40,000.
