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 returns 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. The exhibition explores lessons of TOUCH and how teaches us “HOW TO HANDLE,” reflecting on the power of tactile experience in an increasingly intangible world. Through immersive spatial design and material exploration, Bankston considers touch not simply as sensation, but as a vital form of connection that grounds people in the present moment while shaping the way they experience space.

As those who are involved in design in Japan, blessed with rich diversity of materials, Japan Creative focuses on the inherent backgrounds, characteristics and potential of materials themselves, reevaluating their value through a designer’s perspective. Japan Creative believes that only by understanding how materials are shaped by the unique natural environments and climates, and how they are situated, can it move beyond superficial expression and create designs with necessity and sustainability.
