A Scandinavian-Inspired Kitchen with Hints of Japan - Remodelista
Photos by Juli Daoust.
Not too long ago, on a quick business-ey type trip to Toronto, I made a side pilgrimage to Mjölk (one of our favorite shops ever at Remodelista).
Sensing my curiosity (read: snoopiness), owners John Baker and Juli Daoust invited me upstairs to take a tour of their newly remodeled flat–a sanctuary of Scandinavian design above the busy city streetscape.
The raw copper Kvist Chandelier is by Jonas Bohlin; €1,812 at Skulptur Fabriken.
“Having a shop and gallery like ours, we get to make personal connections with most of the artists we represent,” John says.
A Sori Yanagi Tea Kettle (CA$150).
The counters are soapstone. On the counter, brass Utensil Holders by Oji Masanori (CA$200 for the small, CA$300 for the large) corral a set of kitchen tools.
The floors are soap-treated Douglas Fir and the dining chairs are Borge Mogensen Shaker Chairs (a set of six is currently available at Lawson-Fenning for $2,250).
“We love displaying this work on the open shelves of our kitchen and made a conscious decision to only use one staple glass,” John says.
The Sucabaruca Coffee Set is a Mjölk exclusive, designed by Venice- and Stockholm-based Luca Nichetto. Contact Mjölk for ordering information.

A charcoal gray 8-gallon Vipp 24 Pedal Bin is $469 directly from Vipp; the small Iris Hantverk Table Brush is CA$38 from Mjölk.

A culinary center for Elodie occupies a corner of the kitchen (her new baby brother, Howell, arrived last week).
In another corner, a vintage Danish piano.
The kitchen opens onto a daylight-flooded courtyard.
