Bucks and Spurs, a new Stockholm-based design house, earned international attention earlier this year when their 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 and 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.
Above: Bucks and Spurs pairs its modular cabinetry system with decorative finds from around the world, including artful embroidery by Brooklyn-based Coral & Tusk, whose aprons are shown here. This wood-and-copper ladder rail is an optional component of the kitchen and bathroom systems.
