I love the simple design philosophy of muji, and I think I shall always be a fan of the infinite fun and possibility that lego offers. These two wonderful entities have come together and produced something compoudedly wonderful. High snobiety has the story and some pictures:

Together they’re encouraging us to think outside the blocks (horrible, I know) by punching LEGO-sized holes in paper. The rest then becomes obvious – but wow – how innovative is that?

Perfect really. Available November 27th at MUJI Japan – just in time for the Holiday season. US and European MUJI locations have yet to confirm stock.

The creative and mechanical possibilities opened up by this simple development are, I would imagine, many. You could make your own paper pieces, of course, or — if the hole-puncher is strong enough –( you could even make pieces out of other materials like plastics and fabrics.
