Japan Week: Leaf Zakka
September 9th, 2007
From Julie:
Why do the Scandinavians and the Japanese do such a brilliant job with utilitarian design? We have Target and Walmart, they have Ikea and Muji (finally coming to the US this fall, to SoHo; visit muji.com).
The Scandi design landscape is well-trod territory; lately we’ve been admiring the understated rusticity of Japanese household objects. This week we devote ourselves to a few of the Japanese websites we have been trolling and scrolling these past few months.
First up: a selection of household items from Leaf Zakka; go to rakuten.co.jp:
