The current obsessions of Mjölk’s husband-and-wife team
John Baker and Juli Daoust first opened their beloved homewares and furniture shop in the Junction a decade ago. Their mercantile philosophy is to only sell items they would happily bring into their own home. As a result, Mjölk stocks wildly contrasting pieces—from antique Korean moon jar vases to ultra-modern candy-coloured Swedish pendant lamps. The expertly curated mix makes stopping in feel as much like visiting an art gallery as a decor store, with the possibility of snagging something as cozy as it is beautiful.
Stuff They Love
Tetsuya Ozawa’s handmade ceramics feature earthy textures and ancient-seeming surfaces
The Little Petra sheepskin chair came out in 1938, but its snuggly upholstery and clean lines are timeless
Hummelo by Piet Oudolf, the legendary Dutch landscape designer, is a lavishly produced book full of stealable ideas for creating a garden paradise
The architect Luis Barragán creates minimalist spaces with a nod to the Mexican design tradition of bold, bright colours
Sean Stewart’s pigment drawings are abstract but alive with a strong sense of movement
