CEREMONY by Claesson Koivisto Rune
CEREMONY tray/trivet, milk and sugar set by Claesson Koivisto Rune now available online and in store.
Swedish life in general is rather informal. Society has done away with most old fashioned rituals and form of address. But we do drink a lot of coffee. In fact, Sweden ranks as the world’s top consumer of it. In business and in private it is customary to serve coffee or ’fika’ whenever we meet. And it’s always very casually offered, but in its practice fika is in fact a kind of modern ceremony. Up to five or eight times a day.
Welcome to our fika. Or, if that’s not your cup of tea, the pitcher works equally well for maple syrup.

Claesson Koivisto Rune + Mjölk exhibition
On Wednesday night we hosted an exhibition for Claesson Koivisto Rune. We are so honored to be presenting their first retrospective in Canada, and debuting “CEREMONY”, the serving set designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune and produced by Mjolk with the expertise of local artisans Alissa Coe, Scott Eunson, and Adrian Kuzyk.
It was such a pleasure to be able to spend time with such a brilliant firm, whose personalities are as equally warm and charming as their work. For those who didn’t have the opportunity to visit the exhibition during the opening night, the show will continue in its full installation until January 31st, and after that a stripped down version of the exhibition will continue until February 8th.
CEREMONY set: trays in pure brass, copper, and blackened steel reversible with Canadian hard maple serving/cutting side. Pitcher: unglazed white porcelain exterior with glazed interior, and bowl / lid in Canadian hard maple.
As our exhibition coincided with Toronto Design Week the Ceremony set won “Best in show – Best new product” from Toronto Design Offsite, as well as a “Designlines Loves tag”.

Architect visit: Claesson Koivisto Rune
One of our favourite architect firms is Clasesson Koivisto Rune, they are also one of our favourite furniture designers as well and we have a few of their pieces here at mjölk. I wanted to do a post about their Råman house, which was built in 2000. It’s still just as beautiful and classic as it ever was, and also features one of the nicest bedrooms we’ve ever seen.
One day we’ll have a fireplace.
There is also a detached ceramics studio.

Another view.
We are in love with the black Fog & Morup pendant light.
What a wonderful and simple bedroom.
