In the quiet Akasaka neighbourhood of Fukuoka, Japan, a new destination for coffee and design has opened its doors. Fuglen Keyaki Dori, the Norwegian coffee concept’s flagship in the city, combines exceptional coffee and cocktails, vintage furniture and carefully considered interiors. The new café reflects the distinctive atmosphere that has made Fuglen a meeting place for coffee lovers and design enthusiasts around the world.
Founded in Oslo in 1963, Fuglen has grown from a local coffee bar into an international concept, with locations across Japan, South Korea and Indonesia. At the heart of its identity is a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, quality and timeless design. The same values resonate strongly with Northern.
Lighting plays an important role in creating the welcoming atmosphere that defines Fuglen’s spaces. Lamps such as Dokka, Butterfly, Unika and Tradition are a natural part of the interior, adding character and warmth while complementing the carefully curated furniture and vintage objects.
The collaboration with Fuglen is about more than lighting. It is about the way thoughtful design can shape an experience, bring people together and make everyday moments feel special. Just as a good cup of coffee reflects care and expertise, the right lighting helps create a setting where people want to stay a little longer.
At Fuglen Keyaki Dori, a meeting point between Norwegian design heritage and Japanese coffee culture is created. A place where good coffee, tasty drinks, and thoughtful interiors are equally part of the enjoyment.
