MUJI
Posted by: Cane on 5th Nov 2010 in Opinion

Now after a 30 year career, Naoto Fukasawa is bringing sense to brands at the very top, and bottom of the market and across numerous industries. Like many of his celebrity designer contemporaries, Fukasawa has been involved in diverse enough projects that you could pretty much live out the rest of your life in a bubble of his creations, that’s if you can get hold of them of course...
