The streets groan under the weight of people. The air is filled with deafening noise and sumptuous smells.
Muji, the no-logo Japanese retailer, sells itself on its minimalist design, while supermarket shelves groan under the weight of Simple products.
Humanity is still to groan under the slavery of ornament.
