Kitchen of the Week: A Modular Setup from Sweden

July 14, 2016

Stockholm-based design house Bucks & Spurs earned international attention last year when its Railway kitchen won the Best Kitchen category in the 2015 Elle Decoration Swedish Design Awards.

The winning kitchen is part of the company’s Railways modular cabinetry line, which also includes bathroom and closet cabinetry and indoor and outdoor sliding doors. The overall concept is a clean-lined Scandinavian system with a streak of the American West. In each piece of cabinetry, Bucks & Spurs paired rough-hewn oak boards with smoother ones to achieve a look they call “rough ranch.”

Above: The Railways system began with sliding doors and cabinet frames made by woodworkers in Järna and Småland, Sweden. These frames later developed into the full modular furniture system. The oak inset on a diagonal is a nod to railroad ties.
