While poking around on sites my boyfriend sent me I came across Mjolk Shop. I have long been a fan of Scandinavian design and this site blends Scandinavian treats with Japanese ones as well. As it’s the holidays I thought it was appropriate to share some of the coolest things I found on the site.
I think this blanket is to adorable but I do love scalloped everything. This was designed by Vík Prjónsdóttir in Iceland and made with Icelandic wool, my favorite!
Once you stop laughing at how silly these look you have to think they’d be pretty cozy. As it gets colder up here in Boston I can’t help but put these “sealpelts” on my Christmas list. They’re also made of Icelandic wool and carry on the Icelandic fable that seals are possessed by humans!
This lamp was created by Alvar Aalto off of a bilberry and it perfect as a spotlight. I like it because it kind of looks like a broken egg.
These steel baskets come from Sweden and are designed by Ola Wihlborg, who I’ll post more on someday. They come in various sizes and look like brick walls that are open to me!
The above kitchen funnel was designed in Denmark, which seems to make sense to me. When I was in Denmark years ago there were amazingly well-designed objects everywhere I turned. This one is collapsible and heat proof!
The above is called Plopp, it’s made when two steel plates are welded together and then inflated like a balloon and formed into a stool / art object. The link to the product page shows them in various other colors, so cool. Designed by Oskar Zieta, I could take a couple of these too!
And what would a post be without a felt rug? The above, Pinocchio carpet is made of tons of felt balls combined to make up a rug. Done by the design group HAY, I would obviously put that in the bottom of the yurt! So much to look at I suggest you stop by!
