The ancient Viking kitchen was a central gathering place for the Viking community. Viking kitchens were typically large, communal spaces where meals were prepared and shared. They featured open hearths and cooking pits, with utensils made from materials such as iron and wood. Adding a recycled glass countertop to an ancient Viking kitchen would create a striking contrast between the rustic, historical elements and the sleek, modern countertop. The use of recycled glass would also align with the Viking values of resourcefulness and sustainability.
