SeungHyun Lee designed the HYGGE kitchen appliance with a minimalistic style. The modern electric kettle is informed by Roman architecture. The historic style inspired the designer to create a sleek hybrid kitchen kettle that also functions like a jar to store your drink.
Dual in function, the HYGGE is named after the Danish word for contentment, hygge, which implies a laisser-faire cultural attitude of well-being and coziness. The kettle's design urges users to find the magic in small, everyday things, such as the joy of drinking a hot cup of tea on a cold winter day. The easy-to-use kettle boasts an intuitive and modern design made from clear glass. Moreover, the kettle's top features an interactive experience.
