Located in Vienna's vibrant 6th district, adjacent to an experimental theater, Finkh is a small restaurant dedicated to fine Austrian cuisine. It occupies a seventy square meter space once used as an engine-assembly workshop. Confined by a minute budget, the small restaurant tries to get as much mileage from inexpensive materials to convey a clear and intimate space. The raw plaster walls, painted OSB panels, and uniform white table tops provide a series of homogeneous surfaces that allow a motley collection of recycled chairs to interact.
