In the historic heart of Rotterdam, Restaurant 1898 offers a refined dining experience where classic elegance meets contemporary cuisine. Set in a monumental building with rich details and high ceilings, the interior called for a lighting plan that would enhance the grandeur of the space while creating an intimate, warm atmosphere for guests.

Layered light for depth and comfort
We designed a layered lighting concept combining soft general lighting with carefully placed accent spots. This ensures a comfortable base level of light throughout the restaurant while drawing attention to key elements such as the bar, artwork, and table settings. The result is an inviting ambiance where guests feel at ease from lunch until late dinner.

Warm tones, seamlessly integrated
Using warm color temperatures (2700K) and high CRI lighting, the textures of wood, fabrics, and decorative elements are shown at their best. In close collaboration with the interior designers, the lighting blends naturally into the design concept—discreet fixtures and flexible controls allow the team to adjust the ambiance throughout the day, enhancing the timeless charm of the building without overpowering it.
