I and my friend went to a bakery “POINT et LIGNE” in the Shin-Marunouchi Building. The bakery features a variety of “made in Tokyo” bread , which also has a cafe.
You can also watch bakers preparing bread. We had a lunch which is very tasty bread and salad of the season.
The MUJI AWARD is a design competition organized by MUJI. This is its 2nd year. Some of the leading designers like Naoto Fukazawa or Jasper Morrison joins as one of the judges, and it should be one of the best stepping-stone design competitions for young product designers and alike. Those award-winning works will be produced as new MUJI products, too.
The theme of the 2nd year comp that has just been announced the other day is “RE”- （Re-think,Re-design,Re-use etc.）.
My favorites are the Gold award winning “Towel with further options”, which you can cut into the sizes you like before use, and a schedule notebook with clock-shaped scheduling sections, “Chronotebook”. Both will be available for sales in this coming spring.
There are also some product concepts won the awards. For example, a cubical shaped salt ( just like a block sugar). It sounds like making your cocking time more fun!
