Notes Design

In this age of DVDs and flatscreens, the reason people still go to the cinema at all is because some things are better bigger.

Take Muji for instance--anyone who's been to the larger Muji stores around the world is bound to be disappointed by the tiny Muji outposts in, say, Seoul's Myeong-dong or New York's SoHo.

Come May 30th, NYC Muji is finally upstaging their SoHo shop with a Muji mothership. Deceptively called "Muji Times Square"--it's actually at 40th and 8th Ave, three blocks off from its namesake--the new digs will feature 4,350 feet of no-frills goodness. The grand opening is scheduled for noon, and the first 500 to show up will get a free "non-linear" Chronotebook planner.
