The Muji Muji 5.5 House is Filled with Muji Products

— April 23, 2025 — Art & Design
Parisian design firm 5.5 has repurposed some classic products from Japanese brand Muji to create the Muji Muji 5.5 house. It uses the brand's fixtures and furniture to adorn the modular home unveiled at Milan Design Week. The Muji Muji 5.5 is made up of six modules -- all of which are interchangeable. The home is filled with Muji storage boxes, hooks, baskets, and tableware.

Muji noted, "This creative, modular and minimalist home embraces modesty and frugality while addressing the need for serenity amid the city's bustling energy and spatial constraints. This adaptable house is built from a catalogue of prefabricated modules that can be added or removed as needed. Its size and interior layout adjust to your preferences, allowing you to create a home that truly suits your lifestyle."
