“ Hyggelige as the Danes may be, there is one serious drawback to being crazy about candles: the soot. Studies show that lighting just one candle fills the air with more microparticles than traffic in a busy street. A study undertaken by the Danish Building Research Institute showed that candles shed more particles indoors than either cigarettes or cooking. Despite Denmark being a highly regulated country, we have yet to see warning labels on candles. Nobody messes with the hygge fanatics. ”

“ L’arte danese dell’hygge consiste nell’assaporare i semplici piaceri quotidiani e godersi i momenti di quiete, mentre lo svedese lagom (pronunciato lah-gom) definisce la scelta di uno stile di vita che ruota attorno a equilibrio, semplicità, rilassatezza e serenità. ”
― Jonny Jackson, The Little Book of Lagom: How to Balance Your Life the Swedish Way
