No Milk Today? Ok, but a lot of Mjölk instead...


Don't miss it !
Last weekend, Marco and I paid a visit to the new-born store of the Junction's eclectic neighbourhood : Mjölk ( say Mi-Yelk). The shop has been voted new shop of the week by NOW magazine and best new design shop of 2009 according to Blog TO! It has been designed and built by Studio Junction, (go see their website; I am a great admirer of their work)...



...and is run by John Baker and Juli Daoust whom we first met at the IDS09 as they stopped by our booth and eventually decided to feature Marco's chairs on their blog: Kitka. They are young, moving forward at the speed of light and have got a passion for Scandinavian and Japanese design that is contagious.

Our suggestion: if you decide to discover the area, also go to Smash, vintage furniture shop, and take a healthy break with organic foods at the Beet, miam-miam!



Take a day out, or at least an afternoon out, to discover what's new in the Junction; you won't regret it !

Good morning Christine!
I recently discovered the Junction too, and was quite surprised at what a cool little neighbourhood it is! I felt like I'd stepped away from the big city, and into a new little one. I think I might just have to take you up on your recommendation and check out these places too!

Hi Cripsy,

Yes, please do! And we too felt like taking a trip to another city (also because it takes some time and good will to get there: metro + bus). Right on!
See you soon,
Christine
