Buster and Punch is a London-based home fashion brand, specialising in industrial design. The company was founded by Massimo Buster Minale in 2013, where they started out crafting custom motorbikes in a garage in East London. Minale is a trained architect and industrial designer, and following a career at Foster & Partners and Richard Rogers, he decided to chase his passion, which was founding Buster and Punch. Since then, the brand has elevated, with their designs in homes and commercial spaces all over the globe and a long list of collaborations with local artists.
Since then, the brand has branched out, and they now offer a wide range of industrial yet elegant, crafted lighting, lamps (bulbs), and matching hardware using quality materials such as solid metals and marble. Their love for working with rare, solid metals has led them to transform everyday functional fittings into extraordinary home details. Their products pledge durability, as well as elegant design; any Buster and Punch fixture is guaranteed to be a conversation starter and stand the test of time. The brand's work is heavily inspired by London, especially the fashion and the music. They collaborate with street artists, bike builders, and fashion designers to inject attitude into their products.
"I taught myself how to transform stock vintage motorbikes into one-off customs. I made all the parts from scratch and started selling my motorbikes to London’s most notorious. Being an architect requests soon turned from motorbikes to home fittings, and I set about making everything from door handles to toilet roll holders. The seed was planted, and my love child between architecture and motorbikes was born, his name – Buster + Punch.” - Massimo Buster Minale
