The theme of this year's Muji Award International Design Competition 03: "Found Muji." What does that mean? It's a philosophy borne of their recent line of products: ...We currently offer "Found MUJI" products, which were developed by discovering the good points about merchandise that has been used over long periods of time, were created by humans, and were born out of daily needs. [For example] we "found" that socks hand-knitted by Czech grandmothers were characterized by a 90-degree shape, which perfectly fits your feet. We tried them on and felt that they fit comfortably on our heels. We then discovered that the shape of the machine-produced socks we usually wear doesn't fit our feet owing to manufacturing reasons. So then we realized that we could provide many people with comfortable 90 degree socks produced by machine. In this way, a factor found in Czech tradition, culture, and wisdom was converted to a new MUJI product befitting our modern age.
