Mjölk
2959 Dundas St. W, Junction Triangle
Mjölk translates to Milk, because the owners felt that word summed up the inventory, which, like milk, is pure, honest, and essential. This design store is run by husband and wife John and Juli Baker, who traverse the globe seeking out furniture, homewares, lighting, and interesting objects that embody their slow-living aesthetic. Expect a restrained, soothing interior and a careful edit of lifestyle pieces with a focus on craftsmanship and function, like beautifully made Japanese oak stirring spoons or charcoal pine incense—items that enhance your experience of daily life in your own home. The store also acts as a gallery space that regularly exhibits works by Scandinavian and Japanese artists, alongside Mjölk's own product collaborations with local and international designers that explore the art of the daily ritual.
