Southern Design Group

For over four decades, Southern Design Group has established itself as one of Australia's premier architectural hardware suppliers, consistently elevating spaces through thoughtfully curated design solutions.

The company's distinctive brand portfolio reflects a commitment across multiple market segments: innovative design collaborations through Bankston, trend-forward collections from Iver, and authentic restoration hardware via TradCo.

This comprehensive approach positions architectural hardware as essential design considerations that define and enhance the character of any space.

With an expanding global footprint spanning Australasia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, Southern Design Group champions hardware that is both carefully designed and consciously crafted to create lasting impact. The company's dedication to sustainability is demonstrated through their ongoing journey toward Impact Certification, reinforcing their accountability to environmental stewardship.

At the foundation of their operations are four core values: respect, responsibility, adaptability, and passion. These principles are embodied by their team and reflected in every aspect of their daily work, from product development to client relationships.

Product Showcase

Lever 01 Round Rose by Bankston features a cantilevered handle extending from a compact cylindrical rose. The design emphasises proportional contrast between the handle's length and the rose's minimal diameter. Slender cross-section maintains architectural restraint while the junction point creates deliberate visual tension. Suitable for interior applications requiring considered hardware detailing.

The Sarlat Cabinet Pull by Iver features a curved profile with ring detailing at each terminal point. This hardware detail adds textural interest to cabinetry surfaces. Available across five size options with coordinating backplates offered separately. Suitable for residential and commercial joinery applications requiring consistent detailing across multiple cabinet configurations.

The Richmond Knob on Long Backplate by TradCo delivers traditional proportions in solid sheet brass construction. The extended backplate provides visual weight suitable for period restoration projects and heritage-sensitive applications. TradCo's manufacturing maintains dimensional accuracy and surface consistency across production runs. The brass material ages naturally, developing patina appropriate for authentic restoration work. Specified for projects requiring documented traditional hardware detailing and verifiable material provenance.
