Hygge, Danish and Norwegian word which can be described as a quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being. In recent years it has been described as a defining characteristic of Danish culture. Here are some of our favourite pieces to help you feel the Hygge this season.
This year, we have decided to individually select our ideal gifts from our current stock and to share as to why we love these pieces.

Flo
by Marcello Ziliani for Magis | Selected by Rupert
$532.00
I love it because it is the perfect domestic ladder. It folds perfectly flat and compact for storage. When open it has a very handsome secure look and feeling about it. It also has a very unique handle to hold and steady yourself when you are reaching for a high cupboard. This is a great feature for older people or anyone who has a glass of wine while preparing dinner and needs that special serving dish from a top cupboard for instance…? I just can’t decide between which colour I like more either the orange or the anthracite.
