Mjölk: Favorite Product Picks

Storeowners Juli Daoust and John Baker scout Scandinavia and Japan for the best designs in each region to bring back the best of their finds to their Toronto shop Mjölk (pronounced "mi-yelk"). We visited the duo in the city's Junction neighborhood for our September 2011 Design Finder. Here, they handpick their favorite items in the store and gives us a peek into why and how they chose each one.

1. Concrete shaving kit by Lovisa Wattman for Iris Hantwerk. "There's something nice about taking time for yourself and the morning ritual of lathering up your traditional badger hair shaving brush, running hot water, and enjoying a good shave. This concrete set is made in Sweden and the brush is made by visually impaired craftspeople, the soap dish even says 'soap' in braille."
