MUJI was founded in 1980. Its origin was a thorough rationalization of the manufacturing process with an eye to creating simple, low-cost, good quality products. Specifically, we reexamined products through three lenses: material selection, inspection process and simplification of packaging. For instance, if you omit the bleaching process for pulp, the resulting paper is light beige in color. MUJI used this paper for its packaging and labels. The ensuing products are remarkably pure and fresh. In notable contrast to the prevailing over-embellished products in the marketplace, MUJI's products both won great appreciation and sent shock waves not only through Japan but across the entire world. Mujirushi Ryohin, MUJI in Japanese, translates as "no-brand quality goods." MUJI's goal is to give customers a rational satisfaction, expressed not with, "This is what I really want" but with "This will do." "This is what I really want" expresses both faint egoism and discord while "This will do" expresses conciliatory reasoning. We have been credited with being "resource-saving", "low-priced", "simple", "anonymous" and "nature-oriented". There are more than 1,000 MUJI stores around the world carrying more than 7,000 items ranging from clothing and household goods to food and even houses. But the foundation of our ideology hasn't changed since the day we were conceived; like the compass that points due North, we continue to orient ourselves to the basis and universality of daily life.

Past and future, research and tradition. All in the name of quality living. The Molteni group is one of Italy’s leading international furnishings companies. It consists of four companies, each one at the forefront of its sector: Molteni&C SpA (home furnishings), Unifor SpA (office furnishings), Dada SpA (kitchens) and Citterio SpA (office furnishings and partitions). Molteni offers global furnishing in Italy and in over eighty countries all over the world.

The story of Italian design is also a little history of the Boffi family. Under the wise direction of the three ADs Luigi Massoni, Antonio Citterio and Piero Lissoni, many designers participated thanks to their different background and knowledge. Built in over 50 years of work, the prestige and credibility of the brand take off since 1980, helped by the communicative efficacy of sophisticated photographic catalogs and technical manual. The promotion of events from creative and cultural worlds reinforces Boffi's identity: an example, the pioneering trend of leaving the fair during the Salone del Mobile in Milan to choose representative locations in the city. It is the beginning of a new phase which finds energy and inspiration in the artistic direction of Piero Lissoni. We operate in United States with retail network of 4 trade showrooms (SoHo, Chicago, Georgetown, Los Angeles) and 3 studios (San Francisco, Miami and Dever opening soon). Each showroom has a team of in-house, highly skilled architects who offer standardized or customized solutions for a single residential project or large scale development projects. Each project manager works hand in hand with the architect from site measurements through the entire design process till the final installation. Also, everything is made in the manufacturing facility close to Milan to allow the best quality control. For multi-unit developments, our New York City based multi-unit division, works closely from beginning to end of the project with developers, architects, designers and real estate marketing agencies, from design to project management and installation. We partner with the most renown architects such as Zaha Hadid for the kitchens and bathrooms of 520 W 28th St in NYC; Richard Meier for the Surf Club in Miami; Selldorf Architects for 42 Crosby, NYC as well as the Ritz Carlton Residences in Miami. In the West Coast we are working on high rises in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.
