Normann Copenhagen Hyg

No other word in the Danish language has become as internationally recognized as "hygge." It is a term that is difficult to define yet so simple in practice. Hygge means feeling comfortable—security, warmth, and comfort are part of its DNA, and these very qualities form the foundation of Simon Legald's Hyg Lounge series. With Hyg, Simon Legald has designed an exclusive series where soft lines and enveloping contours create a cozy and pleasant space. Hyg is perfectly suited for hygge. The series, which consists of a sofa, armchairs, and an ottoman, feels like a warm and heartfelt embrace in form. The generous silhouette exudes a primary organic purity. The voluminous shape is balanced by a slender contour that sharpens and refines the expression of the sofa. The high sides gently enclose the space, while a wide seating area allows for a variety of relaxed sitting positions. "My vision for Hyg was to create a room within a room; a place that gives you a sense of calm and security, with an expressiveness that is playful and free. The concave shape of the design invites contemplation. In the armchair, you can cozy up with a cup of coffee and a book, while the sofa version focuses on the center, on companionship and conversation," says Simon Legald.
