hygge

Hygge has put together a wonderful homeware collection, carefully sourced from many different countries. All goods are inspired by the Danish word that their name bears meaning cosiness, conviviality and general candle-lit good times.

3 ~ describe the mood, what inspired you, or what you intended when creating/arranging these pieces...
Whenever we arrange displays we like to make them feel like home. We like to give customers ideas or ‘stories’ to show how products can be used together, or how they can be used in less obvious ways.

4 ~ what are 3 objects/pieces sold in your store that you are dying to have or... you already have and love...
~ I have and love the Swedish Dalahast blanket as a permanent fixture on my old scruffy sofa.
~ I always burn scented candles, usually black tea, fig or cucumber.
~ I’m in love with Eleanor Prichard’s Scallop blankets, but as yet haven’t managed to sneak one home.

5 ~ list three things that provide you with inspiration...
The sea, friends, family.
