Our home

“Our home is our safe haven, our favorite space, a place of relaxation and inspiration.”

“After years of being expats in various countries around the world, we cherish the feeling of coming and being home. Carefully curating the ever-growing furniture collection, the pieces that symbolize and make us feel at home.”

We had both been living abroad for several years, when we met in Dubai and fell in love. We both knew quite early on that our goal was to create a home together. A place we both dreamt about not only as individuals, but as a couple with a shared passion and love for design, furniture and interior design….

As we were renting our apartment, we decided to invest in classic design furniture, which would represent the core and permanent elements of our home. Instead of painting the walls or changing the floors, we felt that the furniture would be something that could travel with us, if we decide to move. At this point in our lives, we have both been traveling extensively for work, so coming back home and sitting in our favorite chair or dining at our dream table is the ultimate feeling of home and “hygge”.

So, what is “hygge"? Some of you might have heard the word before, some might be very familiar with the concept. We would like to take a moment and explore this concept as it is the core of what we would like to talk about in this blog.

“Hygge” (pronounced "hoo-guh") is a Danish concept that is often translated as coziness or comfort. It is a cultural phenomenon that embodies a sense of well-being and contentment, emphasizing the enjoyment of simple pleasures and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. “Hygge” is considered a fundamental part of Danish culture and lifestyle and is part of the reason Danes are continuously named one of the happiest people in the world.

The concept of hygge is difficult to translate into a single word because it encompasses a wide range of experiences and feelings. It involves creating a cozy atmosphere, cultivating a sense of togetherness, and finding joy in small, everyday moments. Hygge can be experienced through various activities such as gathering with friends and family, enjoying good food and drinks, lighting candles, reading a book, or simply being present in the moment.

Our ultimate goal is to create hyggeligt home.

For some, looking at the pictures from our home, one might think that filling a home with designer furniture creates a “hyggeligt” home. But nothing could be further from the truth.

We can’t wait to embark on this journey and share with you, what we believe makes a home “hyggeligt”.

We decided with the growing family that it is time to look for a larger space, therefor we decided to put our current apartment on the market
