Banks Studio is the culmination of its founder’s practice as a painter and sculptor, alongside a passion for design and furniture making.

Born from a desire to treat the picture frame as an artwork in its own right, Banks Studio creates frames that bring together traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary sensibility. Each frame is designed with a practical yet sympathetic understanding of how artwork is handled, displayed and lived with — creating pieces made to protect and complement the work for years to come.

Alongside picture framing, Banks Studio also produces furniture and objects, drawing on the character and craftsmanship of traditional folk furniture while bringing these ideas into a contemporary setting. The result is a collection of thoughtfully made pieces that feel both familiar and modern, with an emphasis on honest materials, considered details and timeless design.
