The term hyggelig actually comes from Norwegian roots adopted by the Danes. I've been using that word in signage for show houses, my store and in the markets for over nine years! While studying architecture and design and being completely submerged in Copenhagen culture and language-- it is my favorite Danish word. It embodies an encompassing ambiance, a cozy feeling of all things good: favorite people, food, drink, candles, location...it's an evocation of both feelings and experiences. Over my ten years of Interior Design and eighteen in Visual Merchandising and Display--I strive to create tailored hygge environments.
I'd like to not "thank"Crate and Barrel catalog for taking a beautiful word and making it cheap. Like Made in China cheap. Ugh. Okay, stepping down off my soap box! Tak!
Hyggelig= all the senses plus emotions and company of others
