Airbnb teams up with Japanese retail company MUJI to launch 'Airbnb Host Essentials,' a home-delivered product kit geared towards Airbnb hosts who would like to refresh their space. The kit comes with a range of 23 unique home essential items, including kitchenware, bath and closet products, cleaning essentials, and various MUJI staples.
MUJI curated the kit according to a 1000-person survey that revealed travelers' favorite Airbnb items, which "made for an exceptional stay." According to the survey, travelers' top five essential items include "high-grade towels, hangers, coffee mugs, high-quality table settings, and high-caliber glassware," all of which are included in the kit.
In addition, the 'Airbnb Host Esssentials' collection was created with both affordability and tasteful, forward design in mind, aligning with both MUJI's broader business philosophies and aesthetic sensibilities.
