and 60s, now defined as Danish clas-
sics from designers such as Finn
Juhl, Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen,
and Nanna Ditzel.
The classic Danish design has a
very functional starting point and
is made with simple lines - using
light colours and not a lot of extra
decoration. The colour tones are
light and natural, whereas many
other countries use brighter colours
and patterns.
For me, the Danish concept of
hygge is mostly about having a good
time with friends and family. Ithink we create hygge in our homes
with textiles, blankets, cushions,
and lights... We have a very dark
winter here, and not a lot of day-
light. I guess it has always been
important to create cozy indoor
places. So, yes, I do incorporate
hygge in my stylings, maybe even
without thinking too much about
it. I also like to use flowers or green
plants to add to the hygge effect, to
create spaces that are cozy and nice
to be in.
My business focuses on sustain-
able design, which encompasses lo-cal production, long-lasting quality
items, and organic materials. For
me it is sustainable to only buy
things you need, and to sell or give
away old pieces when you buy new
items, rather than putting things in
the trash.
We all need to renew our homes
sometimes to keep us inspired, so
reselling and buying old furniture
makes a lot of sense, I think. We
can’t keep buying and throwing
things away. More thought is need-
ed when we shop. We have the
power as consumers.THE ART OF LIVING 80 Homeand 60s, now defined as Danish clas-
