    2nd floor: Home Building

    One of the most noteworthy features of the Muji Store in Ariake is its new services such as "partial renovation" and "DIY support," which aims to support building the spaces that we live in. The second floor is designed in 4 different themes, homes, offices, commercial facilities and public spaces. As you proceed to the back of the second floor, the striking "Yo-no-Ie (Plain House)" catches the customers eye. The first full-scale model house in the Tokyo metropolitan area has been installed, and the store is also furnished with furniture designed to resemble a living space. Compared to the usual natural colors that bring out the texture of wood, there are more items in black on sale on this floor. These new "black" products are developed based on a survey of people living in the Ariake area where the people who live in the neighborhood tend to choose monotone furniture. Aside from the black furniture series, there are other interior items limited to this store such as Scandinavian vintage furniture, IDEE art and green, etc.
