Swedish brand Bucks and Spurs was set up by Marina Dahlblom and Helena Wendt in 2013, with the idea of creating an interior concept with flexible kitchen modules. Shortly thereafter, the duo launched Railway Kitchen, a modular kitchen solution. Railway Kitchen, with its fusion of sleek, modern Scandinavian design and rustic American ranch feeling, was awarded Kitchen of the Year 2015 by the ELLE Decoration Awards. The same year, Railway Kitchen was nominated for Guldstolen by Architects Sweden, thanks to its classic yet innovative design language and playfulness. 10 |
