In 2023, during the China International Import Expo, we especially designed a pavilion which consisted of 7,524 interlocking wooden components. This is the exclusive pavilion for MUJI, dedicated to brand spirit: Nature, Naturally & MUJI.

During the 6-day exhibition, as the pavilion wall transitioned from existence to non-existence, 1,254 visitors to the MUJI pavilion took away the screen system. After the dismantling of the wall, the wooden components will be reassembled into a set of storage systems suitable for home use. Moreover, these components are designed to seamlessly match the dimensions of MUJI's existing furniture cabinets. Each participating visitor is the co-creator of this project, bringing the concept of sustainability into their lives. The design of this storage system also implements the MUJI’s Brand concept of “Nature, Naturally & MUJI”. It is well interpreted in the exhibition industry, where resource waste is extremely serious.

MUJI's "minimalist" philosophy is not simply about removing unnecessary decoration to achieve a simple appearance, but about creating an ultimate "emptiness" that is pure and without any limitations in terms of usage methods and product images. Emptiness is a state of infinite freedom.

An exhibition hall has been cleared can bring infinite creative beauty to life. We are appreciated to every audience who has participated in helping us complete the new concept MUJI Eco-Museum.
