Ancient Viking kitchens were often simple and functional, with open hearths and cooking utensils made of iron or clay. To bring a contemporary touch to an ancient Viking kitchen, glass pendant lights can be installed. These lights would provide a soft and warm illumination, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for cooking and dining. The sleek and minimalist design of the glass pendants would contrast with the ruggedness of the Viking kitchen, adding a modern twist to the historical setting.
