BNKR Studio explores the connections and relationships between colour and material, between form and purpose.
BNKR Studio first collection launch Founded by Stijn in 2022, BNKR Studio is based near Ghent, Belgium. BNKR Studio explores the connections and relationships between colour and material, between form and purpose. Creating the unexpected, using simple materials (steel, aluminium, ceramics...) ‘BNKR Studio recontextualises the visual identity and material vocabulary of everyday objects (tubes, pipes, joints...) in new functional compositions, such as lighting, furniture and objects.’ BNKR Studio reflects handmade stylised products and conceptual objects that are colourful, playful, affordable, fun to make and pleasant to look at. Our designs aim to be ‘just nice.’
