Lagom: The Swedish Hygge.The Swedes are a nation of modest fellows. Yes, they have given the world ABBA, Volvo, IKEA and outstanding, cutting edge technology to help combat climate change, but they also pride themselves on their culture of consensus and equality. The philosophy of lagom emphasises this perfectly.“It’s the idea that for everything there is the perfect amount: The perfect, and best, amount of food, space, laughter and sadness.”When trying to differentiate between lagom and the Danish Hygge, succinctly put, Hygge is a moment, an hour, a weekend of pleasure, where as Lagom is a dwelling, a constant, a way of life. This is why Contura are Europe’s most popular stove maker! Their beautiful, stylish wood burning stoves are designed for the family to come home to after a walk in the snow on a cold, cold Sunday.Country Home and Interiors magazine. Lagom: This year’s Hygge?
