Frequently Asked Questions
What is Japandi tableware?
Japandi tableware combines Scandinavian simplicity with Japanese craftsmanship. It is tableware made from natural materials and soft earth tones, minimalist and timeless. At Mimo, that means high-quality Portuguese ceramics with a matte finish.
What is reactive glaze?
Reactive glaze is a type of glaze whose color shifts during high-temperature firing. As a result, no two pieces come out of the oven identical, and each plate or coffee cup has its own unique nuance.
Where does Mimo's ceramic come from?
Our ceramics are thrown and glazed in Portugal by skilled artisans, in small batches. Mimo was founded by Sacha and Bram.
What tableware suits the Japandi style?
Choose a neutral base in earth tones, such as a beige dinnerware set, and gradually build on it with matching plates and coffee cups in the same colour family.
