The Tokyo Pen Pixel installation has been created using the multicoloured Muji pens which incorporate projection mapping.
Muji said the installation is a “unique Christmas gift” for Tokyo’s sister city Paris and celebrates the similarities between the two cities major landmarks, the Tokyo Tower and the Eiffel Tower.
The installation has been created in collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in a bid to promote the city as a travel destination.
The installation is on display in Muji’s Forum des Halles store in Paris and will run until December 17 after which the pens will be gifted to customers.
“The aim was to celebrate the vibrant colours of our city, and elevate an everyday product synonymous with the brand into something beautiful and unexpected,” said George Sugitomo, executive creative director R/GA Tokyo.
