一直很喜歡muji的設計，產品設計分為兩個方向，一類偏向于科技虛擬類，此類與多媒體互聯網結合，開發出很多很棒的虛擬設計，取代了硬件的絕對主導地位，體現時代的特點。如MS的Surface,以前有幸用過，雖然沒能感受盡其功能，但印象便是一個可觸屏幕的大家伙，個人不是很喜歡，起碼外觀設計不怎么討人喜歡。外觀設計？也許和普通茶幾沒什么區別吧；一類偏向實體類設計。實體設計主要是一個家居設計，汽車設計，以及硬件工具類設計。其中家居設計最為人所知，非常貼近人們的生活。也許一個小的改動就會帶來很大的便利。從某種角度來看更是環保的，muji的設計更是此類典型。

    　設計有時不求華麗的科技包裝，只求能用最簡單的辦法在節省資源的前提下解決問題，這便是返璞歸真的設計。商業的目的是追求利潤，設計的目的是解決人們生活問題，利潤來源于消費者，消費需要感覺以最小的付出使自己問題得到解決才肯貢獻其價值。長遠看來，樸素而真實的設計更能得到人們的認可。更符合世界發展趨勢，相信全民審美觀念會慢慢浸入這里。
　　下面簡單欣賞下muji03的設計作品，看完后會讓你有一種跳出虛擬世界，回歸本原的感覺，設計源于生活...

MUJI AWARD 03, with its theme of "Found MUJI"
無印良品獎03 ，其主題是“發現無印良品”
金獎：《 稻草秸稈》
The original meaning of the term "straw" was "wheat straw". Wall art depicting people using straws of wheat to drink from have been discovered from ancient Mesopotamian ruins. Straws of wheat are forms created by nature; they are materials that return to the soil. There's no waste in either the shape itself, or in its actual existence.

原來一詞的含義“稻草”是“麥秸” 。長城藝術人物使用的小麥秸稈飲料中發現了古代美索不達米亞廢墟。小麥秸稈是形式所創造的性質，它們是材料返回到土壤中。沒有浪費，要么本身的形狀，或在其實際存在。

銀獎：《戶外垃圾桶》
A trash bag that easily stands up by itself. By taking advantage of the triangular pack that originated in Sweden and has been used for years for serving milk for school lunches in Japan, we were able to achieve a sense of stability, while the tendency to worry about the actual contents of the bag has been lessened. Can be put to good use when camping, on a picnic, or with other outdoor activities.

一個垃圾袋輕松地站起來本身。利用三角包起源于瑞典，并已使用多年的服務牛奶在日本學校午餐，我們能夠實現穩定感，而往往擔心的實際內容袋已被減輕。可以很好地加以利用時，野營，野餐，或與其他戶外活動。

銅獎：《大甲席》
Taiwan is an island located on the Pacific Ocean, and there is a small town in the middle city of Taiwan called "Tachia." It's a beautiful place famous for its straw mat, which is made from a specific variety of rush, and usually the mat is hand-weaved by people in the village. Straw mat products are normally seen as floor mats, sitting mats, and hats, which feature respirable, odor-absorptive, quick-drying functions, also the soft straw scent smells purely blissful. "Tachia Mat" is redesigned from the ordinary Tachia straw mat, makes it into a fitted bed sheet that covers the mattress entirely, instead of the traditional one-piece type that simply sits on top of the bed. Comparing to the machine-made mats, the material of "Tachia Mat" is much more flexible and foldable since it's handmade. Today energy-saving is considered as a critical issue, and "Tachia Mat" is definitely a product that will bring a fresh and cool aura. With MUJI's global markets, once "Tachia Mat" is being mass produced, there will be more and more people enjoying the nice and cool summer nights.

銅獎：《釘子》
My grandfather nonchalantly pounded nails into posts and hung various things on them. So that things didn't fall off these nails, he unconsciously pounded them in at an angle. To me, these felt like the most rational sort of hook you could get. While a simple nail would have sufficed, I made a few alterations. It struck me that if you could secure a nail at a set angle and length every time, then you could have beautiful hooks anywhere you could pound a nail in.

我的祖父漠然地襲擊釘成員額和洪各種事情上。因此，事情并沒有掉下來這些釘子，他不自覺地襲擊他們的角度。對我來說，這些感覺最合理的排序鉤你可能。而一個簡單的指甲就足夠，我做了些改動。這很讓我吃驚，如果你能確保釘在了一套角度和長度每一次，那么你可以隨時隨地美麗鉤你可以英鎊釘子英寸

MUJI AWARD-01-2006

Name : Yoh Komiyama (Japan)
Category : An outlet plug to save energy
The purpose of the work :
"A cast-off skin" is designed to perform 3 functions
#1. to save energy,
#2. to prevent dust or waste from penetrating an outlet.
#3. to maintain a connection between an outlet plug and an outlet.
Concept of the design;
Traditional Japanese people called an existing thing in this world "Utsusemi."
"Utsusemi" is a cast-off skin of the cicada insect. The outlet which I saw was an empty container, an "Utsusemi". An invisible soul (a transparent outlet plug) entered the container, and so it was reborn to connect the world.
When an outlet plug is pulled out of an outlet it lies like a cast-off skin without a soul.
But will it yearn for an outlet so?
"A cast-off skin" is based on this simple idea.
