Formed in Sydney in the late 80’s by designers Bryan Marshall and David Granger, bangdesign is one of Australia’s leading design studios. With a strong focus on furniture and product, bangdesign is a truly diverse operation designing exhibitions, furniture, interiors, packaging, products, promotional and textile projects. They have worked internationally with clients in Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Germany including Bernhardt Design USA, Canon Australia Pty Ltd, Caroma Industries Ltd, Electrolux Home Products Pty Ltd, QANTAS Airways Limited, SOCOG Sydney Olympics 2000, and Woven Image Pty Ltd Aust/UK.
Winning design awards in Australia and New Zealand for products like PLUS Series Lounge Furniture for Formway, Myriad Low-Profile Tapware for Dorf, Talon Chair for Talon, bangdesign’s work has been exhibited throughout Australia, in Italy at Salone Del Mobile, in America at NeoCon, in Germany at Orgatec, and is part of the permanent collection at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney.
Driven by a passion for collaboration, bangdesign pursues an all-embracing approach, not just design in isolation, but pushing the boundaries of the entire project and how it is represented.
The process of design may be complex, but for bangdesign the resulting product appears simple and innate, enabling the product’s values and benefits to be digested and enjoyed.
It’s about embedding an emotive value in products and environments.
The design ethos of bangdesign extends beyond the apparent borders of industrial design where the endeavour is to create lasting value beyond styling.
Both Bryan and David studied together at the University of Canberra in Australia, and significantly their collaboration on projects has been a constant for 20 years. Their work has been widely published internationally: AA Magazine (Aust), Ambiente Magazine (Germany), Ardi Magazine (Spain), Axis Magazine (Japan), Belle Magazine (Aust), Design News Magazine (Japan), Design Week Magazine (UK), InDesign Magazine (Aust), International Design Yearbook ’94 ’95 ’96 UK, Intramuros Magazine (France), Modo Magazine (Italy), POLOxygen (Aust), Vogue (Aust).
