Sozou means ‘primitive shape’ in Japanese. The studio bases its design on the study of basic, simple and familiar forms/shapes with the desire to formulate a design language that can be interpreted, shared and felt by all.
Each object is hand made and finished in Melbourne, Australia, to ensure the highest quality and to enhance the emotion-centric studio philosophy.
ALMOST DISAPPEARING
The series is crafted from patinated brass, Japanese paper and Australian blackwood – materials chosen to celebrate raw texture and the cultural diversity of our time. Gentle light that diffuses by the paper also suits with different aesthetic spaces and does not overwhelm. This collection aims to enrich space in a sensitive way through the delivery of lighting that subtly speaks to nature, personal memory and design nostalgia.
A collection of future classics is inspired by designs from around the globe that have stood the test of time. Handcrafted by old world artisans to highlight sumptuous materials, meticulous weaves and precocious textures, these enduring designs deftly blend form and function.
Bankston collaborates with leading minds in architecture and design to create original expressions of architectural hardware that redefine the category.
