There’s something truly charming about a simple gingham print. These endearingly humble black and white gingham table linens are from Mjolk — a new Scandinavian-style superstore in The Junction neighbourhood of Toronto that I’m dying to scout…
The timeworn look of the gingham lends itself to low-maintenance — I’d certainly never bother ironing these beauties. Wrinkles and loose folds in the linen simply add to the back-to-basics appeal.
The black and white gingham even translates beautifully onto a shopping tote. So sweet!

As I mentioned in Home & Style in the August issue of 
Louise Campbell’s “The More the Merrier Candlestick” marries baroque decadence with spare Scandinavian style – two forces normally at odds with each other, but melded together, make for a striking centerpiece. “As the saying goes, the more elements you join together, the merrier the result,” says Louise. “The design is a blend of the formal and informal.”
Although it’s a sculpture in its own right, Jakob Wagner’s “Flow” is actually a fully functional jug. “With the shape of the jug I wanted to tell a straightforward story about its functional anatomy,” Jakob explains. “A large hole to fill up the jug, a small hole to pour, a low centre of gravity, and a middle area to get a firm grip.”
And how’s this for a splash of summery brights? (After the summer we’ve been having, we can all use a touch of this uplifting hue…) Jens Fager’s “Raw”collection of chairs, side tables and candelabras are made from wood that’s hand-carved with a band saw machine, and finished in an array of vivid colours.
