Significance of the MUJI Local Design Village
For the past two years, we have been participating in MUJI's community market a few times. Through numerous collaborations at these markets, our products have gradually gained recognition from both MUJI and its customers. Reflecting on this journey, Jing said “When Ms. Satoko, the project leader of MLDV, first introduced us to this innovative concept, I was filled with excitement and gratitude as I’ve always dreamed of having my own retail shop in the city center. I never expected this dream comes true so quickly. Though the concept was initially seemed abstract, requiring much thoughts, such as forms of capability, manpower, funding, and more.” Jing continued, “MUJI’s generosity in extending this invaluable opportunity allows us to connect with a wider audience, both locally and internationally. Moreover, it offers us the chance to learn from MUJI's extensive retail operation experience, and foster collaborative growth alongside other local Finnish design brands.”
The MUJI Local Design Village is more than just a marketplace; it represents a platform of artistic vision and entrepreneurial spirit. It serves as a hub in the heart of the city center for creativity, fostering collaboration and showcasing the finest talent within our community.
Highlighting Designer Brands in the Village
Alongside Upcycle with Jing, a total of 15 local artisans and designers gather at the MUJI Local Design Village, offering a diverse range of jewelry, accessories, textiles, stationery, textile, bags, hair/skin care, and Japanese vintage clothing. Each brand brings a unique perspective and dedication to craftsmanship. We are honored to stand among these esteemed peers and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to share our creations with you.
Additionally, we had the pleasure of engaging with select designers within the village, gaining firsthand perspectives on their craft and aspirations for the future.
