In interiors, few brands have dared to transform the overlooked into the unforgettable. Buster + Punch, the London-born design studio, has emerged as a global force by turning everyday fittings into bold works of art. Precision engineering, daring finishes, and a rebellious spirit define the brand, bridging the worlds of fashion and interiors to create homes that feel uniquely alive.

Founded by architect and industrial designer Massimo Buster Minale, Buster + Punch began with a mission to bring style, tactility, and personality to elements often overlooked. Inspired by London’s music, fashion, and subculture scenes, the brand celebrates individuality while delivering timeless quality. Today, Buster + Punch has evolved into a movement, powered by a team of nearly 100 designers, engineers, and craftspeople. Rejecting the notion that switches and outlets must be bland or invisible, the brand infuses every piece with artisanal craftsmanship, industrial toughness, and unexpected style.

This year, Buster + Punch has reimagined two of its signature collections—Linear Electricity, now available through dealer showrooms and online, and Cast, arriving this fall—with bold updates and refined details that underscore the brand’s restless pursuit of innovation. These refreshed designs not only embody the brand’s signature aesthetic but also offer a glimpse into the future of high-end hardware and lighting.

The Cast Collection, celebrated for blending raw industrial inspiration with refined craftsmanship, now extends into both hardware and bathroom. The updates introduce hand-cast solid metal pieces with knurled grips and knuckles, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and tactile engagement. The first two releases, Welders Black and Steel, enhance both visual presence and the authenticity of touch, providing weight, texture, and subtle play with light. From cabinet pulls to bathroom accessories and vanity mirrors, Cast transforms surfaces into sculptural, statement details.

The Linear Collection combines architectural knurling with modular sophistication in switches, dimmers, outlets, and USB modules. Drawing inspiration from 1960s hi-fi equipment and Swiss horology, the reimagined Linear pieces feature laser-etched dimmer indices, signature Torx screws, and sleek knurled textures designed to invite the hand and elevate daily interaction. Modular detail kits allow users to swap design languages without replacing core electrical modules. Offered in white, black, steel, brass, and smoked bronze, Linear combines functional innovation with tactile elegance.

Buster + Punch is about how a home feels in use, where everyday interactions are intentional and refined. In the kitchen, a Cast cabinet pull offers a cool, textured grip. Later, dimming the lights with a Linear dimmer delivers a smooth, precise click. Even routine actions become purposeful moments, thanks to thoughtfully designed outlets.

Bathrooms, often overlooked as purely functional spaces, become destinations for artistry and tactility. Cast towel hooks and vanity hardware invite touch, their solid metal presence and finishes adding depth and texture to the space. Even minor details become deliberate design statements, signaling that every corner of a home has been curated for experience and style.

By combining craftsmanship with industrial energy, Buster + Punch enables homeowners to express their personalities. Its pieces are designed to adapt over time. Cast and Linear are equally at home in sleek, contemporary spaces or richly textured, layered interiors, making them a long-term investment that grows with taste and lifestyle.

It’s a combination of innovation and beauty that resonates with anyone who wants their home to feel intentional, unique, and elevated.
