Hygge … A scandinavian way of life …

August 20, 2011 — denmark, hygge, sweden

We’re in the process of designing, producing and photographing a book on ‘Hygge‘.

It’s something that is difficult to translate, but definitely Scandinavian in feel. According to Wikipedia “its closest equivalent is the word “coziness”; however, rather than merely describing a place that is compact, well-heated and nicely furnished (a cozy room, a cozy flat), Gemütlichkeit connotes the notion of belonging, social acceptance, cheerfulness, the absence of anything hectic and the opportunity to spend quality time.”

Anyway more about this later!

Here’s a preview of the work in progress.
