# Refined Minimal Furniture Capsules Mjölk and Thom Fougere Unveil Another Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mjlk References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/thom-fougere-brings-his-refined-minimalism-to-mjolk-once-again/) & [mjolk](http://mjolk.ca/)  Montreal-based designer [Thom Fougere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pine-island-cottage) continues to work together with Toronto-based design store [Mjölk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guard-patrol) on a new collection. It is defined by Mjölk's masterful craftsmanship and functionality with the understated aesthetic of Fougere. The ongoing collaboration features a new capsule that is timeless and elegant with a utilitarian angle nodding to both efforts seamlessly. One of the standout products in the new range is the Arm Sofa, which reimagines a classic sofa shape at a new angle. The design is highlighted by its framing made from solid wood materials. It comes in walnut or white oak and it is a celebration of timeless designs that still retain a modern energy. Another standout is the Wall Light with a slender form and handcrafted finish with fiberglass materials to cast a warm and ambiance illumination.
