During ICFF, MIO Culture launched their new series of modular cabinetry, Naked Line. Named for its "naked and honest approach to affordable furniture", Naked Line embraces the simple beauty of it's formaldehyde-free particleboard made from 100% pre-consumer waste wood. The modular units are now available...
Each unit measures 16" x 36" x 15.5". Units are stackable and the powder-coated steel doors and back panel are available in three colors &mdash white, gray and orange — allowing for custom combinations. Naked Line Cabinets are available direct from the MIO site for $280 each.
"Made in the USA and designed to maximize material yield and eliminate the use of veneers."

Meh - Why would I get these when I can get a beautiful vintage secretary or credenza off CL for $300-$500?

I knew before I saw the price to doubt "affordable."

$300 for a particle board box? It may be green, but there is a small percentage of the population who would call this affordable.

looks like all of their items are pretty high priced.

MIO are good people. They make good products in a very green/responsible way.

$300 is not affordable. The wood used in that is no more than $10 at retail prices, and the metal is likely the same (sheet metal). $40 is affordable, $300 is robbery. IKEA could do this a lot better, and much much much much cheaper.

not worth it.
If it was in the 40-60 dollar range, it would be great.

I agree. I'm getting tired of all this so-called "affordable" furniture.

you aren't paying for the raw material-you are paying for the design, the American labor, the time it takes to use recycled materials, the more expensive formaldehyde-free glue...
new cheap = bad for people, bad for enviornment
