o.m.k. 1010

The vibrant metropolis of Tokyo is a city of contrasts and countless facets. Located in one of Vienna’s oldest market squares, the new o.m.k 1010 not only offers Japanese culinary delights but also provides a glimpse into the diverse and contemporary spirit of Tokyo itself.

The interior design, created by BFA x KLK, draws inspiration from the flow of people navigating through Tokyo’s narrow streets. This concept is translated into an object-like spatial design that accommodates both dine-in and take-out experiences, as well as a store for Japanese cooking essentials. Each individual station symbolizes the variety of Tokyo’s shopfronts: the Coffee & Matcha Bar, take-away counter, and shop area function independently while simultaneously defining the venue’s cohesive spatial character.

A strict grid – a hallmark of harmony and modularity in Japanese architecture – forms the foundation of the design. Square tiles frame the cubic kitchen area, echoing the grid pattern on a smaller scale. Similarly, grid-like shelves made of black oak showcase Japanese products, seamlessly blending functionality with aesthetics.
