Where it all began Salt on the skin, sand in the hair, and children’s laughter in the background. That’s how the Motel a Miio journey began – on a family holiday in Portugal. On a sunny day, founders Anna & Laura stumbled upon handmade ceramics. It was love at first sight. In that moment, they knew: these one-of-a-kind pieces deserved to be shared with the world.

From Portugal to the world No sooner said than done. With the vision of bringing the spirit of a Portuguese summer to people everywhere, they launched their first pop-up store in Hofstatt, Munich. But this was just the beginning. In 2016, they started searching for artisans who were just as passionate about unique ceramics as they were. Seven years later, there are now around 30 stores across Europe – all bringing the signature charm of Motel a Miio to life. And still, this is only the beginning. Our vision stretches far beyond European borders.
