Muji’s minimalist Zen-like aesthetic has always struck a cord amongst Singaporeans. The brand’s products might be simple and plain but they are practical and functional – things that complement our pragmatic ways.
The opening of Muji Plaza Singapura brings forth another reason to adopt this design philosophy. Spanning 38,400 square feet, the expansive store is now more than twice its original size. It’s the largest flagship store in Southeast Asia, and offers exclusive products, new departments and expanded concepts.
Here’s what you can find at Muji Plaza Singapura.
1. Muji Renovation
You can bring your dream home to life with Muji Renovation. Experience whole-home transformation with the end-to-end planning that includes renovation and home furnishing. The tailored service also offers input on lifestyle design and other consulting services to ensure customers’ homes effectively adapt to their evolving needs and priorities.

7. Muji Community
The community market is now a permanent feature at Muji Plaza Singapura and will consistently showcase products from lesser-known Japanese regions, providing customers the opportunity to explore unique offerings. The market, for example, currently presents items from Ehime prefecture, known as the “citrus kingdom” in Japan. Shoppers can buy sake, marmalade, tea, and syrup from this region, alongside unique crafts items such as wine bottle holders intricately made using Japanese mizuhiki knots, and Tobe Yaki ceramicware (a type of Japanese porcelain traditionally from Tobe, a town in Ehime).
8. Open Muji
At this dedicated space, Muji will collaborate with local designers and creators to showcase exhibitions and workshops. From Nov 22, 2023 to Jan 21, 2024, it has collaborated with Raffles College of Higher Education for the Muji Re-inspire exhibition, which celebrates the art of transformation, where new life and purpose is found in ageing, used, or damaged products.
9. Products from local companies
Local companies that share the brand’s vision can be found here, too, such as sustainably sourced cutting boards, ecohusk lunch boxes, and accessories made using upcycled chopsticks.
Another highlight are the bicycles from local brand Ascent Bikes. These urban bikes are crafted with high-quality aluminium and carbon materials, and can be customised to each riders’ needs. A range of exclusive colours will be available for sale at the store.
Muji Plaza Singapura is at 68 Orchard Road, #01-10 to 22 Plaza Singapura, Singapore 238839.
