New York-based CIVILIAN join us for a live podcast interview

Visiting Australia as part of their collaboration with Bankston Architectural, Ksenia Kagner and Nicko Elliott joined us for an in-person interview in Sydney.

CIVILIAN is a design studio based in New York, founded and led by the pair who joined us for a live interview when they were in Australia in 2024. Ksenia Kagner and Nicko Elliott are the duo behind CIVILIAN, and they have been working with Bankston Architectural on a range of highly refined hardware pieces. Bankston Architectural is part of Southern Design Group, led by co-CEOS Emily and Steve Bradley.

In this episode, we spoke all about this collaboration as well as their visit to the country and impressions of Australian design. Nicko and Ksenia shared their thoughts on some of the similarities and differences between design practice in Australia and the US.
