In the realm of café design, lighting is a key element that defines the ambiance and character of the space. At Fettler, we specialize in creating modern, Scandinavian-inspired light shades that blend style with functionality. Our designs were recently selected to illuminate the Boatyard Café in Cullercoats, a coastal gem where our Ror column pendant and Saku feature pendant have become integral to the café's inviting atmosphere.

Café Lighting: Crafting the Perfect Atmosphere

The lighting in a café does much more than brighten the room—it sets the mood, enhances the décor, and contributes to the overall customer experience. Whether you're seeking to create a cozy nook for reading or a lively space for socializing, the choice of lighting fixtures is crucial.


At Boatyard Café, the owners were drawn to the clean, minimalist lines of Scandinavian design, ultimately selecting Fettler’s Ror column pendant and Saku feature pendant to achieve their desired aesthetic. The café’s location, with its stunning views of Cullercoats Bay, adjoining the award-winning Long Sands Beach and King Edward’s Bay, required lighting that would complement the natural beauty of the surroundings while adding a modern touch to the interior.


The Saku Feature Pendant: Illuminating the Bar

The Saku feature pendant was chosen to hang prominently above the bar, where three of these striking pendants are suspended. The Saku’s unique design serves as a focal point, drawing the eye and creating a visually dynamic element in the space. The warm, inviting light emitted by the Saku pendants enhances the bar area, making it a welcoming spot for customers to gather, chat, and enjoy a drink. This placement not only highlights the bar as a central feature of the café but also adds depth and character to the overall design.


The Ror Column Pendant: Framing the View

To complement the bar area, the owners of Boatyard Café selected four of our Ror column pendants to hang in the café’s large windows, overlooking the breathtaking Cullercoats Bay. The windows, which provide stunning views of the coastline and the nearby Long Sands Beach and King Edward’s Bay, are perfectly framed by the sleek, cylindrical shape of the Ror pendants. These pendants provide focused downlighting that illuminates the window seating areas without distracting from the natural beauty outside. The result is a serene, relaxing environment where customers can enjoy their coffee while taking in the views.

The Importance of Café Lighting

Lighting in a café is about more than just functionality—it’s about creating an environment that feels both welcoming and visually appealing. The right lighting enhances the dining experience, making customers feel at ease while also highlighting key design elements within the space. At Boatyard Café, the combination of Fettler’s Saku and Ror pendants achieves this balance, providing both style and substance.


Warm, strategically placed lighting encourages customers to stay longer, enjoy their time, and fully experience the ambiance of the café. By selecting our Ror and Saku pendants, Boatyard Café has created a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels comfortable and inviting.
