What is Hygge?
Pronounced "hoo-gah".
Hygge is the Danish art of creating warmth, comfort and a sense of wellbeing in everyday life. The word originates from old Norwegian, where it meant something close to “well-being”, and was embraced by the Danes in the 18th century. From the gentle glow of candlelight to cosy evenings with loved ones, Hygge is about slowing down, enjoying simple pleasures and creating moments of connection and contentment. Particularly cherished during Denmark’s long, dark winters, it brings warmth and comfort to life’s simplest moments.
