In a world racing forward with constant technological innovation, the founder Zack has always been drawn to the promise of progress. His background and passion for technology come from a fascination with how it shapes our lives, accelerates possibilities, and connects us in ways once unimaginable.
But with this pace comes a quiet loss. As life speeds up, moments can begin to feel less human. We grow nostalgic for the days when time felt slower — rainy afternoons spent curled up under blankets, family meals around a table, or a scent that instantly transports us back to simpler times. The further we lean into a future of efficiency and automation, the more we yearn for the warmth of presence, connection, and the handmade.
That tension sparked a discovery. He realized that progress and coziness don’t have to be at odds. By embracing the philosophy of hygge — the art of slowing down and finding joy in life’s little rituals — we can create spaces and experiences that honor both our nostalgia for the past and our place in the modern world.
Miel & Willow was born from this belief: that within a fast-paced, technology-driven world, we can still carve out room for comfort, coziness, and meaning. Our philosophy is simple — to slow down, savor the small things, and build environments that feel like home.
