DESCRIPTION:Product fitness 80 Exhibition\n\nWhat would happen if we used 20% less 
 materials and energy to make products?\nAfter the March 11, 2011 earthquake 
 and tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear disaster in Japan, those impacts 
 are forcing people to reconsider lifestyles dependent on the excess 
 consumption of resources. Acting in unison with people thinking about their 
 new styles of life, from August 24 to August 30, MUJI will present Product 
 fitness 80, an exhibition at SOMArts in San Francisco that calls for a 
 reconsideration of the way in which MUJI addresses product design and 
 product “fitness”.The figure 80 reflects on what would happen if we 
 were to make all products using just 80% of the materials and energy that 
 we have been using to date.MUJI constantly exercises self-restraint in the 
 design and manufacture of its products, asking itself “is this 
 necessary?” or “is this going too far?”Product fitness 80 reflects 
 MUJI’s belief that a little restraint will change our life and the 
 world.\n\n24th-30th August 2012\nSOMArts Cultural Center\n934 Brannan St.,
