After working in advertising for eight years, Flink decided to quit his desk job to open a cafe in an effort to “digest the world a little bit differently.” For years he’d been gathering materials, pieces of furniture, and details of inspiration from his travels and internet deep-dives.
Flink first came across this striking terrazzo material at The Store at Soho House Berlin. Enamored of the marmoreal, Flink bought slabs to build the cafe’s custom bench and long communal table.
Portable, unfinished wood and black steel stools from Frama in Copenhagen can be pulled up to any counter or brought outside.
Instead of focusing on the walls, Flink wanted dramatic floors for the cafe.

Tubular, fluorescent mono-lights by OS & OOS, a Dutch design duo based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, have the flexibility to be bent and contorted.
Flink was looking for a light, natural, and strong material with which to build his bar.
