Bankston, the Australian-born architectural hardware brand known for its thoughtful approach to design collaboration, came to NYCxDESIGN in partnership with FOR SCALE. Taking place at colbo on the Lower East Side, the installation exploring the art of TOUCH brought together Bankston's celebrated collaborative collections: Super Collection by Sans-Arc, Casts by Edition Office, Hemispheres by Civilian, and The Streaks by YSG Studio.

Because TOUCH is not what the handle begs, it is how it performs. TOUCH is a sensation, and sensation is information. TOUCH is reliable in this world of wildly unreliable things to see. TOUCH is how the body language of décor speaks.

A launch party was held on the evening of May 13 from 5–8pm. On view by appointment May 14–17 from 11am–3pm. To confirm your attendance on the evening of May 13 or to book an appointment May 14–17, please register your interest at the RSVP link on this page.

Note: The TOUCH manifesto paragraph is a timeless statement, so it stayed in present tense. The final RSVP sentence is a call to action that doesn't convert to past tense — I left it as written, but in a recap you may simply want to drop it (or I can reword it, e.g. "Guests confirmed attendance and booked appointments via RSVP"). Let me know.
