Vintage Modern Issue

The breadth and scope of Habitus has always been extraordinary. With how we live at heart of every issue, we have stepped it up with Guest Editor David Flack of Flack Studio shaking the ‘how’ and looking at new ways to make a house a home. With Vintage Modern as the issues theme, we look at the way iconic design has stayed with us, how daring pieces from the past can add the wow factor and how architecture and good design defy the pigeon hole of their era.

MUJI’s Micro-home project makes owning a home in the countryside possible

MUJI has unveiled its latest project Muji Hut, a series of tiny prefab homes encapsulating the ethos of the Japanese minimalist retail brand.


The project was launched as part of Tokyo’s annual Design Touch event at Midtown Garden, where the collection of three prototype micro-homes – Cork Hut, Aluminium Hut and Wooden Hut – were placed throughout the park for people to interact with.

Exploring what it means to live a more sustainable lifestyle through minimalism, the tiny (and affordable) homes offer an environment that contains only the bare essentials – a place to cook, to wash and to sleep. MUJI describes the project as an “escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.”

MUJI created the Muji Hut in collaboration with designers Naoto Fukasawa, Jasper Morrison, and Konstantin Grcic. According to Spoon & Tamago, prices will range from $25,000 to $40,000.
