At the heart of Bankston is the aspiration to be a thoughtful and consistent lab of design incubation. Guided by this vision, Bankston collaborates with leading minds in architecture and design to craft original expressions of architectural hardware that redefine the category. Established in Australia and bolstered by four decades of industry expertise, Bankston’s purpose led approach is rooted in the belief that hardware can transcend utility to become a testament to artistry. With every mindfully paced release, it strives for a lighter ecological footprint. Each Bankston collaboration is a true partnership, presenting an interplay of inspiration, unconventional materiality, and innovative production that pushes the boundaries of design.

Bankston, the Australian–born architectural hardware brand known for its thoughtful approach to design collaboration, comes to 3daysofdesign in partnership with FOR SCALE with an immersive exhibition celebrating the art of TOUCH, featuring the brand's collaborative architectural hardware collections by Sans–Arc, Edition Office, Civilian, and YSG Studio. Because TOUCH is not what the handle begs, it is how it performs. TOUCH is a sensation, and sensation is information. TOUCH is reliable in this world of wildly unreliable things to see. TOUCH is how the body language of décor speaks.

Based in Uji, Kyoto, Asahiyaki is among the oldest ceramic kilns in Japan, having crafted tea wares in the same family for 425 years.
This rich history provides a unique perspective of time. Clay used today was extracted two generations ago, just as new clay is prepared for future generations. Tea vessels are not considered complete when they emerge from the kiln; they reach fulfilment gradually, through years of daily use. Besides making artistic pieces for the tea ceremony and sencha wares for daily use, Asahiyaki collaborates with global brands and restaurants on bespoke tableware collections. Every piece is thrown by hand on the pottery wheel by skilled artisans.

Jan Kath Design has revolutionised the world of rugs. For nearly 30 years, the brand has been shaping the international design scene with its work. While the creative language spans a broad spectrum, production remains deliberately rooted in tradition. Each carpet is crafted using centuries–old hand–knotting techniques in selected workshops in Nepal and India, certified for sustainability by the Swiss label STEP. Knot by knot, skilled artisans translate the designs into textile art. Only premium natural materials are used, including hand–combed Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk, and Nepalese nettle. This balanced material composition gives the rugs a distinctive tactile quality and a deep, layered presence beyond the surface.

Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt creates exclusive bespoke lighting pieces. Working with plexiglass and brass, she develops lamps shaped by a close dialogue between colour, transparency, and form. Layered hues and shifting light create depth and visual presence, while patinated brass adds a warmer, tactile tone. Each lamp is a sculptural object that brings a composed architectural presence to a space. She also creates larger installations by grouping multiple lamps. Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt collaborates with Nilufar Gallery in Milan and designs for Gubi.

With deep respect for design and acknowledging the urgent need for a circular transformation, FÓLK creates objects and furniture that enable the circularity of materials. Some of FÓLKs circular designs—such as The Airbag and The Lava Vase—have already become modern design icons, expressing how one’s waste can become another’s treasure. FÓLK explores new circular systems and develops designs from materials that are discarded, disregarded or leftover and through that journey aspires to facilitate people and companies to create more responsible interior solutions.
