Holistic lighting in the heart of the neighborhood

Hadeland Glassverk has supplied hand-blown Arkiv lamps and crystal spheres to Åpent Bakeri in Lille Tøyen Hageby, creating a cohesive atmosphere in the restaurant, cafe, and bakery. The project demonstrates how Norwegian-made lighting and handcrafted glass can elevate interior design and strengthen the identity of modern eateries.

In the heart of Lille Tøyen Hageby, you'll find Åpent Bakeri's new neighbourhood restaurant, cafe, and bakery. Here, fresh baked goods, warm meals, and a relaxed atmosphere converge in a space designed to function from early breakfast until the last serving of the evening.

When Øivind Loftshus and interior architect Darrell Schrubb contacted Hadeland Glassverk, the desire was to use consistent lighting to create a cohesive identity. They chose a combination of Arkiv lamps and a scattering of crystal globes.

The contrast between the classic Arkiv series and the more playful, reflective spheres gives the room balance and depth. The lamps are mouth-blown and hand-cut at Hadeland, adding warmth, character, and functional light above tables, counters, and zones.

The lighting helps to structure the space and supports the concept as a neighbourhood restaurant, café, and bakery. The result is an inviting and timeless atmosphere that combines Norwegian craftsmanship with modern interior design.
