Who hasn’t dreamt of living somewhere they really want to be? The tools to make that dream a reality are now available. It’s not as dramatic as owning a house or a vacation home, but it’s not as basic as going on a trip. Put it in the mountains, near the ocean, or in a garden, and it immediately blends in with the surroundings, inviting you to a whole new life.

This vision is how the brilliantly designed MUJI Hut concept is introduced; a 9m2 interior space with a porch and a high shed roof that creates a space large enough for three or even four people.

Made only using wood from Japan, the outer walls are given enhanced antiseptic properties and durability by applying burned hardwood cladding, like the traditional art of Japanese shipbuilding. Meanwhile, the inner wall surfaces are left untreated to be personalised by each user.

Like many times in the past, Minimalissimo favourite, MUJI, has developed exemplary simple and functional work, that explores another concept of living, all through its unmistakable style.
