MUJI

MUJI is a Japanese lifestyle retailer, and this Harvard Square store brings the brand’s simple, high-quality products to Cambridge. The range spans homewares, apparel, wellness items and more. Since 1980, MUJI has developed its goods with quality, affordability and functionality in mind. The name comes from a Japanese phrase meaning “no-brand quality goods,” which reflects the brand’s plain, pared-back approach to everyday products.

Three basic principles shape how MUJI develops its products: careful selection of materials, streamlining of manufacturing processes and simplification of packaging. The approach is meant to deliver well-made, functional goods at an accessible cost. The Harvard Square location is part of MUJI USA, Ltd., the brand’s US company, which also sells home decor, furniture and clothing through its official website for shoppers who prefer to order online.
