The recent uptick of fast casual dining has us wondering if the “fast casual kitchen” could be the next trend in kitchen design.
Bille Brahe pairs vintage Danish furniture with Picardie glasses and trolley carts, offering up plenty of ideas to steal for your own kitchen (the place where fast, casual cooking happens).
Møgensen seating mingles with Hay, an industrial drinks refrigerator is self-service, and a bar cart is for busing your own dishes.
