Summary of Meik Wiking'd The Little Book of Hygge

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The word for spoilsport in Danish is lyseslukker, which literally means the one who puts out the candles. The American ambassador to Denmark, Rufus Gifford, said of the Danes’ love affair with candles: It is not just in the living room. It is everywhere.

#2 The rule of thumb is that the lower the temperature of the light is, the more hygge you will have. The obsession with lighting comes from the lack of contact with it in the natural world from October to March.

#3 The first PH lamp was produced in 1925. It gave a softer and more diffused light by using a series of layered shades to disperse the light yet conceal the light bulb. In addition, to bring the harsh white light towards the red end of the spectrum, PH gave the inner side of one element of the shade a red color.

#4 The golden hour is the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset. When the sun is low in the sky, its light produces a warm, soft, diffused light. It is sometimes called the magic hour and is the light you want to aim for if you are going for hyggelig lighting indoors.
