Bankston Predicts Architectural Hardware Trends for 2025
Leading Australian architectural hardware brand Bankston shares its predictions for what will be trending in the market in 2025.
Beyond its innovative approach, Australian company Bankston has a unique insight into what is likely to trend in the design of architectural hardware in the near future. From tactile textures, bold finishes and materials such as marble and stone, the brand reveals how these trends can be referenced through hardware to subtly elevate a space.
Using materials like marble and stone for statement hardware is set to be a major trend in 2025, according to Bankston. The materials’ tactile, natural quality is a simple way to create drama in a space. For example, the brand’s latest collection, Hemispheres, created in collaboration with New York-based design studio Civilian, features hardware in walnut, stone and one of three colours of forged brass: chrome, satin nickel and bone. The hardware features striking finishes including Potoro Gold marble, a timeless stone that seamlessly adapts to any interior style.
Similar to the visual drama of marble and stone, bold, dark hardware is also expected to be favoured in 2025. Offering a sleek feel and neutral colour that contrasts with traditional polished metals, dark hardware is ideal for elevating minimalist interiors. For example, the patinated bronze finish in Bankston’s Casts collection – a collaboration with Melbourne-based architecture practice Edition Office – imbues an organic, rustic character that complements the fluid nature of the metal when cast.
Bankston also predicts that tactile textures will be a prominent design trend in 2025. Offering a variety of textured finishes including bronze and brushed champagne, Bankston’s tactile hardware subtly injects a layer of refinement. This trend is embodied in the company’s collaboration with Sans-Arc Studio for the Super Collection, which features vibrant shapes and linear movement, combining whimsical designs with sophisticated textures.
