EMILY, HOW DID YOUR COLLABORATION WITH CIVILIAN COME ABOUT?
Our partnership with Nicko and Ksenia from Civilian began unexpectedly. We met them at a New Year's Eve event in Mexico 10 years ago while still working in sustainability and urban planning in Melbourne. Eight years later, after Bankston launched the 'SuperCollection' with Sans-Arc, Civilian reached out for a project. It turned out to be the same Nicko! We admired their design approach and aesthetics, making the collaboration feel natural. Plus, they're great people, which makes working together even better.
WHAT HAS RESULTED FROM THE COLLABORATION? The Bankston x Civilian range. WHERE ARE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED? At the Chinatown Country Club in Sydney for the Bankston x Civilian 'Hemispheres' launch event.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS SPACE?
The Chinatown Country Club is flooded with natural light, creating an immediate effect of calm and spaciousness. The interior is also reminiscent of a NY loft, in keeping with our collaborator's hometown of Brooklyn.
