MUJI Materials Garden借助景观花园和浸入式装置的形式，分成不同区域，以MUJI品牌深受喜爱的产品的原材料来表现。该展览的灵感来自于MUJI始终坚持的高品质设计。设计师就将其与人们在花园漫步时会有的好奇心相结合了起来。

Taking the form of a landscaped garden and an immersive installation, MUJI Materials Garden features a series of vignettes curating selections of MUJI’s well-loved products composed with the raw source materials. The exhibit draws inspiration from MUJI’s commitment to simple and high-quality design which the designers combine with the curiosity evoked from a garden stroll.

花园的每个区域之间以石径相连，鼓励客人们在新的环境里一边漫步，探索，发现MUJI产品原材料的内在美，在这个过程中，重新认识MUJI的产品。承托着陶瓷制品的，就是用来制作它们的粘土。MUJI的玻璃制品，从沙堆中出现（沙子是玻璃的主要成分）。材质所处的背景，本身的颜色和纹理，将MUJI广泛的家居和生活用品更好地展现给大家。

Each Garden vignette connects via a stone pathway, encouraging visitors to ponder MUJI products in a new context by wandering, exploring, and discovering the inherent beauty of the raw materials they originate from. Ceramic goods sit atop a block of the clay used to make them. MUJI’s glassware emerges from a bed of sand (the main ingredient in glass) – the materials’ context, colors, and textures will convey the connecting element of MUJI’s broad range of home and lifestyle goods.

在设计这个装置的过程中，Ladies & Gentleman Studio研究了MUJI最受欢迎产品的材料来源，通过展示用于制造这些产品的原材料，表现出了每个产品的原始状态。设计师在整个装置内将不同材料分区展示，并把其工作室标志性的温暖而有趣的对比色，形式以及纹理结合起来，赋予了MUJI的产品和原材料新的定义。

In the process of creating the installation, Ladies & Gentleman Studio studied the material origins of MUJI’s most popular products, showcasing each of the work’s original state through the presentation of the raw material used to manufacture them. The installation will re-contextualize both product and raw material through a series of material-based vignettes, executed in the studio’s signature warm, and playful palette of contrasting colors, forms, and textures.
