L’ART D’ÊTRE BIEN AVEC SOI

THE ART OF BEING GOOD TO YOURSELF

THE HYGGE

The Danish "hygge" concept [1]has been crossing the seas for several years now. Inspired by long Nordic winter nights, "hygge" has imposed its style on our homes, inviting us to return to simplicity and enjoy the pleasures of everyday life. Family life at the heart of the home is rethought so that everyone finds their place in the cocoon. It's all about living in a space with a soft, warm decor, inviting you to recharge your batteries and relax; subdued lighting, natural materials, welcoming, comfortable seating.

This is what we at Plaids Cocooning want to extend, by offering ultra-soft and absolutely tender plaids. The Plaid becomes a companion for moments of sharing and comfort.

Our house favorite is the Label Bougies candle brand.[1] . Two sisters from Lille have chosen to create natural, French-made candles.

And for even more cocooning at home, there's nothing like a visit to the enthusiastic bookshop, La Lison in Lille.[2]to spend long winter evenings reading under a blanket.

Cocooning also means relearning the "slow life".[3]

Take time for yourself and your loved ones, live in the moment, stay there and enjoy.
