MIO Europe

MIO is now available in Europe through the newly established EU Distribution office in Cologne, Germany. This means we are able to better serve our customers with stock and service in both continents. From an environmental and design point of view, this strategy has presented some very powerful opportunities which we are gradually implementing. We want MIO to be both global and local. This means that most MIO products will eventually be made and (some of them even designed) wherever we open a distribution office. We will always remain committed to strategies that account for environmental and social impact while making our products and services more effective, flexible and personal. Every constraint makes us think about opportunities that have not been harnessed in sustainable design. Operating out of Philadelphia and Cologne means we are able to make goods that better address our customers specific needs and wants. Finally designing, manufacturing and distributing out of two continents, provides flexibility in manufacturing technologies and is beginning to inform and transform our design process.

So now that we brought you up to speed on MIO EU, I wanted to share images from our first EU commercial project.
