Lagom is a uniquely Swedish term that doesn't have an English
equivalent (Which I find to be pretty common, the Swedish language
has denser words that the English language usually uses two or
three words to describe.) Not only does it not translate perfectly
but its just a very Swedish idea, or feeling. A popular
etymological translation is "around the team" meaning enough food
or drink for everyone at the table, this translation is said to go
back to Viking times. Lagom is "Just enough," "Not too much or too
little," "Just right," "Enough to go around," "Fair share." It
indicates balance. Lagom doesn't have the negative connotation of
"sufficient" nor does it claim perfection SHARE LAGOM contains 50
inspired artworks carefully selected amongst the best up-and-coming
first time published artists. Following the success of SHARE Vol. 1
&2 this third installment combines the winning concept of high
quality prints on perforated pages with the trendy theme of Lagom.
Each featured artist presents a single piece of work along with
companion text in a two page format. The specially designed LAGOM
size book is optimized for its intended purpose: every page's
perforation encourages readers to pull them as individual works of
art. 1 A chance to offer an elegant, modern volume which transforms
the pages into high quality art prints ready for hanging. 2 An
original way to experience and share the culture and art of
Scandinavia, the main inspiration of Lagom, within and beyond the
borders of publishing. 3 The first of the SHARE series as a special
edition. Half price, smaller, more flexible, but keep the high
quality of the content and the paper. 4 Lagom is the new Hugge.
