Today I learned about a store called Muji. It's everywhere in Japan, and has stores in Europe, but is just now planning to open 2 stores in the US (in NY). It sounds sort of like Ikea in that it's supposed to be nice, well-designed stuff at a low price, but their big thing is that everything is as simple and neutral as possible. This article gives an example of a typical cutting board with a handle and a groove around it vs a Muji cutting board which would just be a block of wood. It seems like they sell everything from clothes to furniture to housewares. It sounds interesting.
