brugelig
Brugelig is a Danish word that translates to "useful" or "practical" in English. It describes something that serves a purpose or is functional. The term is often used in everyday conversation to evaluate objects, tools, or even ideas. Something considered brugelig is likely to be well-designed for its intended function and easy to use. It implies a sense of efficiency and value, rather than mere aesthetic appeal.
The concept of brugelig is central to Danish design philosophy, which emphasizes functionality, simplicity, and durability.
