Casts by Bankston Architectural + Edition Office by Bankston Architectural

Overview

Casts by Bankston Architectural + Edition Office is a judicious edit of geometry and form. The collection of levers, pulls, a snib, and a hook continues an exploration of expression and form while articulating the relationship between person and place. The curated collection of architectural hardware has a clear identity, with each piece sharing linked language and typology. The pieces tell of a journey from solid to liquid and back again, speaking to the nature of permutation itself. With a unique identity and robust physicality, the Casts statement collection does not compete with architecture or interior design; instead, serves to enhance.

Seeking reduction, the pieces within the collaboration impart a collectiv­­e character and identity. Casts merges art and design, with intent to honour craft, tactility, and ratio. Showcasing an unconventional use of raw Bronze and Aluminium and a unique sandcasting fabrication process, the range celebrates the inherent qualities of materiality.
