This small paper house captures the inviting feeling of comfort and simple domestic pleasures. With its soft paper made from worn clothes and a small tea candle that flickers a warm yellow light within, Amy Lund’s Hygge truly reflects the meaning of this Scandinavian word.
Text around the base of the house reads:
“We are the product of our past and producer of our future. We maintain our sanity and human-ness – we cope. We give ourselves permission to reinterpret tradition. We start small we start at Home. Welcome.”
Text on floor of house reads:
“Home is the emotional and psychological infrastructure built out of our individual experience as well as the collective experience of our identities and histories.”
