Juli Daoust and John Baker and their two young daughters live in a Toronto flat that’s one flight of stairs up from Mjölk, their homewares shop. Not surprisingly, inventory from the shop makes it up into their own quarters, especially the kitchen, which is modeled after Norwegian summer house designs. Working with architecture firm Studio Junction to customize every inch of the space, Juli and John stocked it with their favorite tools—the kind of Japanese kitchen essentials one dreams of. Here, we’ve sourced the key elements and accessories to start our own wish list.
