A Manifesto House
The designers imagined for MUJI a micro architecture inspired by the Japanese art of living. A creative, evolving, modest and frugal habitat which takes into account the desire for serenity in the tumult of the city and its space constraints.
The energy-efficient house integrates the main principles of responsible housing, thanks to its manufacturing of biosourced materials or from reuse such as its recycled textile insulation.
The roof is white to combat the heat and its surface allows to collect rainwater to water your own food crops.
The house is modular but also scalable over time for greater durability.
More than drawing a beautiful house, 5•5 propose to design “slices of life” that can be assembled to create your own home.
Designed from a catalog of prefabricated modules that can be added as desired, its size and interior layout adapt to your desires, to create the house that best suits your needs. The modules have been designed according to our fundamental needs of daily life and with reference to Japanese culture.
A real reflection on our lifestyles in the face of necessity to reconnect with the essentials, as suggested by the designers Claire Renard and Jean-Sébastien Blanc in search of a more sustainable world.

The MUJI MUJI Collection
MUJI MUJI is a unique collection of 12 clever diversions made from iconic MUJI objects by the designers Claire Renard and Jean-Sébastien Blanc, co-founders of Studio 5•5 and recognized as the pioneers of upcycling.
Objects to make yourself by following the detailed product references and the instructions illustrated by the designers.
By offering a second life to these quality objects, by extending and transforming their uses, Claire Renard and Jean Sébastien Blanc invite us to think about our production methods and consumption to reduce our impact on the environment.
An enthusiastic and responsible approach which encourages the pleasure of doing, using what we have to satisfy our human needs.
Up to you !
