Cosy. Suitable for large families. Together.
Centerpiece Dining table
Socialising is an important aspect of the hygge feeling: inviting friends, cooking together and playing board games together. The best way to spend a hygge evening is with the whole family or close friends – or with all your near and dear ones together. Where better to spend a relaxing evening than at the largest table in your home: the dining table. According to the Danish way of living, the dining table is the “place to be”.
It’s where we read, write, drink, eat, ponder, laugh and daydream. A place for socialising. A place of togetherness. A place with plenty of space for the entire family. And for candles, a must-have decor complement.
Social interaction is at the heart of Danish lifestyle. We often come together as a family to eat together. Whether it’s in the kitchen, a large table in a corner of the living room or a separate dining room. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. All you need is a large wooden table with enough seating around it so that everyone can sit comfortably. Here we enjoy the valuable time together.
Taking things slow is essential to hygge living. We often invite friends and family over for long, cosy meals that can last an entire evening until late at night. Because according to the hygge lifestyle, the best way to indulge is to do it cosily, satisfyingly and, above all, together. The large table not only has space for beautiful candles, but also for all kinds of delicacies. Homemade cake follows a delicious main course. And afterwards there’s always room for a piece of chocolate. Or perhaps two.
Your own personal retreat
A hyggekrog just for you
A hyggekrog is a cosy nook in your home where you can retreat when you want to feel particularly hygge. A place where you take things slowly. Where you can sit really comfortably. People often like to spend hours here. A hyggekrog is your personal retreat for those me-time moments. A place you can make particularly hygge for yourself. Because enjoying some time alone is also part of the Hygge lifestyle.
A hyggekrog is the perfect place to recharge your batteries after a long, stressful week. Here you will find space to unwind by yourself. Here you can finally listen to that new podcast or re-read your favorite book. Here you can enjoy precious me-time with a soothing cup of coffee next to you and a bar of chocolate on your lap.
Hygge is living in the here and now. We should put our mobile phones away more often and detach ourselves from the hectic elements of everyday life. So that we can escape this stress. Slow down. Reflect inwardly and organise your thoughts. Write in your diary while listening to an old playlist. Hygge is what we make of it.
Of course, your hyggekrog doesn’t have to be a classic chair. A multifunctional bench under the window with the most beautiful view is just as hygge. Our OBISTO is ideally suited for this. This bench is made of natural oak. It features a beautiful grain pattern and a grey-green metal frame. The filigree black metal legs complement the oak look to create a timeless aesthetic of the highest quality. The bench comes with a soft, grey cushion that is designed to cover only half of the bench, making the other half a display shelf. This versatile item of furniture can be used for a variety of purposes – for example, as a reading bench.
