Based on ethnographic observations and interviews in cafés in Copenhagen, and online descriptions in which users review their experience of cafés, this paper focuses on how materiality and sociality inter-relate to constitute a relaxed, pleasant sense of atmosphere: that which in Denmark as known as "hygge". Specific attention is given to material structures and social practices that create a sense of interiority.
