Mio: Origami Inspired Modern Furniture
::Talented designers ::Great prices :: Modular and responsible ::Custom printing
Mioculture.com: great furniture design using responsible materials with super-flexible options for the modular lifestyle, using cool origami-style furniture and forms as their inspiration. Since my last check-in with Mio, they have blown me away with their new offerings! Not only have they introduced awesome new interchangeable hanging lamps, but their new “Custom Cabinets” are highly configurable Maple plywood cabinets, lightly finished – and can be customized by uploading a design of your own, or your favorite Ansel Adams photo. Single-wide or double-wide options, with or without doors or drawers.

Mio puts their heart into everything they do, choosing manufacturing locations for their proximity to their studio as well as for their practices and labor conditions. Their designs allow for maximum efficiency in the use of materials, for example their origami side-table, bent into form using two simple sheets of metal. Almost all products are made in the USA, however some of the paper wall tiles are mixed US and Mexico sourcing.
Continuing with the custom and modular thought, Mio has a great selection of modular wall sections that are flexible, bendable and lightweight for the budding startup, roommate situation, or family – perfect for room dividers, tradeshow displays, office cubicles, temporary partitions… and can help form to create rooms, hallways or doorways. Currently they have a handful of designs and themes to choose from, with more likely on the way.
