Montreal-based designer Thom Fougere continues to work together with Toronto-based design store Mjölk on a new collection. It is defined by Mjölk's masterful craftsmanship and functionality with the understated aesthetic of Fougere. The ongoing collaboration features a new capsule that is timeless and elegant with a utilitarian angle nodding to both efforts seamlessly.
One of the standout products in the new range is the Arm Sofa, which reimagines a classic sofa shape at a new angle. The design is highlighted by its framing made from solid wood materials. It comes in walnut or white oak and it is a celebration of timeless designs that still retain a modern energy. Another standout is the Wall Light with a slender form and handcrafted finish with fiberglass materials to cast a warm and ambiance illumination.
