Description
A Terracotta Table That Goes Against the Grain
The Miniforms Milo Coffee Table takes the warmth and natural character of baked clay and gives it a deliberately sharper, more geometric expression.
Instead of following the rounded forms commonly associated with terracotta furniture, Milo uses a more angular and occasionally irregular profile, creating a table that feels architectural, sculptural and distinctly contemporary.
Designed by Paolo Cappello
Milo was designed by Paolo Cappello for Miniforms as part of the Milo and Mila collection.
The design draws on the radical experimentation of the 1960s, using simple material and unconventional geometry to create a piece with a strong visual identity.
Made Entirely from Baked Clay
Milo is made entirely from baked clay, giving the table a warm, earthy character and allowing the natural terracotta material to remain central to the design.
Its commitment to a single material reinforces the simplicity of the concept. There is no separate top or contrasting base; instead, Milo reads as one continuous sculptural object.
Sharp Edges and Irregular Geometry
The character of Milo comes from the contrast between its natural terracotta material and its decidedly geometric shape.
Sharp edges and subtle irregularities give the table a more expressive silhouette, creating visual interest from different angles without relying on decorative detailing.
Compact Ø49 cm Proportions
Milo measures 49 cm across and stands 50 cm high, giving it compact proportions that work naturally beside a sofa, armchair or lounge chair.
Its taller height makes it especially useful as an occasional or side table, providing an easily reached surface without taking up a large amount of floor space.
Pair Milo with Mila
Milo forms part of a two-piece family with the smaller Miniforms Mila Coffee Table.
Mila measures Ø36 x H50 cm and carries the same baked-clay construction and geometric design language, allowing the two tables to be used individually or positioned together for a more layered arrangement.
Indoor and Outdoor Use
Miniforms specifies Milo for both indoor and outdoor environments, making the table unusually versatile for a design-led occasional piece.
Use it beside a sofa or armchair indoors, or introduce its terracotta colour and geometric form to a sheltered terrace or outdoor seating arrangement.
A Bold Accent in Natural Terracotta
The natural baked-clay colour brings warmth into the room while the sharper geometry prevents Milo from feeling rustic or traditional.
It works particularly well alongside neutral upholstery, timber, stone and textured fabrics, where the terracotta tone can provide warmth while the geometric form introduces contrast.

Caring for the Miniforms Milo Coffee Table
Miniforms protects its baked clay with a treatment designed to counter the material’s natural porosity and make the surface waterproof.
If staining liquids such as coffee, wine or oil come into contact with the table, Miniforms recommends acting promptly and blotting the liquid with an absorbent cloth.
