FRIGG Limited Autumn Collection: Hygge & Happiness

Autumn is a magical time of year when nature paints the world in vibrant hues of red, orange, and brown. In Denmark, the streets slowly get covered with leaves in autumn colors and bring us a sight of natural beauty. The days become shorter, and there’s a noticeable chill in the air. Rainy, foggy days are an inseparable part of autumn in Denmark but on some days, you can luckily get a glimpse of a beautiful light that will only increase the beauty of the colorful autumn season.

This shift in weather invites us to slow down, snuggle up under soft blankets with a good book or movie, and sip on drinks like hot cocoa.

As winter’s chill approaches, many of us are seeking ways to make our homes and lives feel cozier and more comfortable. Enter the concept of “hygge”, a Danish term with no direct translation in English. Hygge has been an integral part of Danish culture since the early 19th century when it first appeared in written language. It originates from a Norwegian word meaning “well-being”.

Today, hygge has grown into a complex idea that can best be described as a recipe for happiness that includes warmth, relaxation, indulgence, presence, and comfort all combined in one. In essence, hygge is about creating an atmosphere that encourages happiness, well-being, and contentment.

The beauty of hygge lies in its simplicity – there’s nothing complicated or expensive about achieving this state. You just need to slow down and appreciate the moment.
