Mio by LK Hjelle. The balance of the essential.

Aug, 2026 • 1 Min. Read — General

Side tables accompany everyday life with remarkable discretion. They remain close at hand, solve small everyday needs, and quietly become a constant presence within a space.

With Mio, Takagi/Homstvedt translates this idea into a piece where every decision follows a clear constructive logic. Originally designed to accompany the Ami sofa system, the collection soon developed an identity of its own thanks to a language that feels equally at home in a wide variety of settings.

Geometry in balance.

The steel frame supports two circular oak tabletops through a cantilevered arrangement that gives the piece a sense of lightness. The lower shelf extends its functionality without compromising the clarity of the composition, providing a natural place for books, magazines and everyday objects.

Its construction recalls certain principles of modern architecture, as well as the structural honesty championed by Enzo Mari in Autoprogettazione, where form emerges directly from the way individual elements relate to one another.

Designed to last.

Mio is available in a single size, featuring a metal frame in either black or grey, paired with solid oak tops that bring warmth to the overall composition.

The table is supplied flat-packed to optimise transportation and can be assembled in just a few minutes using a simple fixing system.

Without seeking attention, Mio naturally finds its place beside a sofa or an armchair. A piece that demonstrates how the simplest solutions are often the ones that endure the longest.

Thanks

This website is dedicated to all those people who, in one way or another, have helped this project/dream/desire to begin and take shape.

Special thanks to my wife and my parents for supporting me, to Cristina Escarrà and Alfonso Pérez Rosales for generously sharing with me their experience as agents, to those clients who, in one way or another, have given me wise advice, to the brands that have placed their trust in me, and to Gonzalo, my godfather, who, with his always generous help, and guiding me throughout this process, is largely to blame for the fact that I can boast of being an “entrepreneur”.

Thanks also to Nuria, Rafa and Guillermo, who, to help me in the hard beginnings of any entrepreneurial activity, have opened the doors of their home, let me share with them a bit of their personal lives when I pass through their cities of residence, and give me free accommodation.

Thanks to all!
