MANCHESTER United's director, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, hired a team of designers to give his office a Scandinavian makeover.
It is believed that the Norwegian was inspired by the Swedish IKEA store and the Danish Hygge concept.
Pronounced "hoo-ga", it means a feeling of comfortable contentment due to the simple things of life and involves bringing a personal touch to the room you are redeveloping to make it a sanctuary for the person.
Ole, 46, reorganizes the practice desk before his first full season.

As part of the hygge design, it is suggested to change the lighting to heat the orange bulbs and divide it into multiple lamps to create separate work spaces bathed in light.
It is also suggested that staying static at a desk all day does not fit with the idea of hygge.
Instead, there should be multiple workspaces where the worker can perform different tasks during the day.
As for the players, Man Utd's new boss, Ole, could enforce the rules of hygiene by spending time together to create a team link off the field.
This may include beers or group coffees and meals together during the work day.
Ole could also set up a tour of the table or that players bring cakes or homemade soups in turn.
The 46-year-old asked for neutral woods and a bit of paint to redevelop the office, which was last renovated two years ago during Jose Mourinho's reign.
Images posted on social media by the Portuguese boss showed in his office an apartment bike and deep mahogany furniture.
He redecorated the desk by hanging his own memories and walls on the walls, and posed with a high workout.
But United emptied Special One's office less than five minutes after being sacked last December after a torrid start to the 2018/19 season.
His personal belongings, including pictures on the wall and trophies, were placed in cardboard boxes before being transported.
A source said, "Ole has signed a three-year contract and plans for the future. This season is huge for him because this is his first opportunity to impose his authority on the entire club at the beginning of the season.
"He wants to make sure he's comfortable, because he can be at work, so he asked for the office to be laid out more in line with his style, which is much more Scandinavian than Jose's."
United has won four times on his pre-season tour against Perth Glory, Leeds United, Inter Milan and Spurs.
