good design is... good.

A recent topic of discussion at the shop has been how a love for good design transcends specific design fields. For instance, an architect can appreciate the care that goes into the construction of a quality garment just as much as s/he can appreciate the construction of a building.

After all, good design is good design no matter what the object (or image) is.

A prime example of this is our client and acquaintance John, who, with his partner Juli, owns the fantastic Scandinavian furniture shop Mjölk (pronouced 'Mee-Yelk') in the Junction. The store is abundantly stocked with superb examples of a modern Scandinavian æsthetic.

The pair also have a beautifully comprehensive design website called Kitka on which they share the many ways in which good design enriches their life. We were flattered recently to be featured on the site ourselves after John purchased an M.A + travel bag*. The photos they took of the bag showcase the beauty and quality of the bag perfectly.

Every photo on the Kitka site is beautiful and does a tremendous job of pulling you in to the subject matter, definitely worth a 'browse'! (click here to see original post)

*Come visit us in-store to see our selection of Bags. Aside from M.A+ (Italy), we carry also carry Julius (Japan, available soon online) and Billykirk (USA).
