Show Notes
Bankston has kindly supported today’s episode of Office Talk to discuss Hemispheres, their latest architectural collaboration. To discuss the new collection, we are joined by Steve Bradley of Bankston architectural hardware, and Nicko Elliott, a principal of CIVILIAN, a New York-based design studio he founded with his partner Ksenia in 2018. The Hemispheres collection follows the success of Bankston's architectural collaborations Casts with Edition Office and Super Collection with Sans-Arc.
The 10-piece collection marks a departure from conventional architectural hardware featuring bold geometries, striking finishes, and innovative functions, reflecting a shared ambition to elevate the ordinary. The collection title, Hemispheres, not only references a central dome motif within the range, but also symbolises the collaboration’s global nature—Civilian in the Northern Hemisphere and Bankston in the Southern Hemisphere. This title encapsulates the essence of the partnership, emphasising a shared design ethos transcending geographic bounds. If you would like to learn more about the Hemispheres collection, you can visit Bankston.com, or follow them on Instagram at @bankston_architectural. Civilian is also on Instagram at @civilianprojects, and their website is civilianprojects.com.
