FRILUFTSLIV: INTERIORS
INSPIRED BY RECONNECTING
WITH NATURE
Last year was all about hygge; we
spent the winter months indoors,
cosied up by flickering candle light
with blankets, hot chocolate and
muted colours.
But as spring is finally giving way to
summer, as people try to draw away
from a sedentary lifestyle and more
towards fitness, and as we attempt
to take breaks from modern
technology and embrace digital
detoxes, we’ve noticed a new trend
emerging: Friluftsliv.
The philosophy of friluftsliv is
nothing new in Scandinavia.
In Norwegian, the definition of
friluftsliv is “free air life” and has
no equivalent English word or
notion.

manufacturers can speed up the
installation of windows and doors
by using the Sidey Kitfix system.
Pressure is on for builders and
developers to get on and off-site
faster. This means looking at ways
to reduce the time spent installing
windows and doors.
“With the Sidey Kitfix System,
windows and doors can be
accurately fitted at the factory
stage,” says Steve Hardy, Managing
Director of fenestration and offsite
construction specialists Sidey
Solutions. “It’s quick too – 11
windows can be first fixed in 23
minutes. They are installed when
the walls are horizontal in the
factory and the innovative Kitfix
brackets are twist fitted to the
window or door frame. Air tightness,
thermal and acoustic seals can also
be included at this stage.
