Renowned Australian ceramics studio Robert Gordon is returning to Kitchen+Bath Show this year, showcasing a sophisticated evolution in interior architecture across lighting and basin design. The collection demonstrates how thoughtful texture and dimensional lighting can quietly transform the mood of an interior.
Central to this year’s Kitchen+Bath Show showcase is an expansion of the pottery’s lighting philosophy – looking to alternative angles and dimensional configurations to build upon their coveted collections of overhead pendants.
‘Looking at alternative lighting angles allows us to add new depth to our existing ranges. When light is layered horizontally and vertically, rather than relying solely on traditional overhead sources, it results in a softer, more considered approach to space’ – Bobby Gordon, Director, Robert Gordon .

Following a collaborative project crafting over 13,000 bespoke, terracotta tiles for chef Hugh Allen’s newly opened Melbourne restaurant, Yiaga (designed by Wardle), the Robert Gordon team has found renewed inspiration in the unglazed, tactile beauty of the medium. This deep dive into architectural earthiness has directly informed this season’s limited-edition lighting releases, where the studio introduces a raw-textured, unglazed seasonal ‘Terracotta’ finish to its most celebrated fixtures. This earthy medium beautifully translates across the vertical plane, finding expression in both the minimalist geometry of the Box Wall Light and the soft, organic contours of the Curve Wall Light.
‘Working with John Wardle and the Yiaga team reminded us of the powerful, understated beauty unique to this warm, earthy medium. We wanted to bring that exact same grounding, architectural presence into our lighting collection—allowing the terracotta to speak for itself’ – Bobby Gordon, Director, Robert Gordon.
Visitors to the stand will be the first to experience the brand-new Backlit Disc Wall Light in person. The circular design casts a subtle, ambient halo, offering a soft geometric element that beautifully complements the pottery’s existing wall and overhead collections.
This year’s stand celebrates a design collaboration that pushes the boundaries of materials. Visitors can inspect The Potters Collection, a newly launched collaboration between Reece and Robert Gordon. This distinctive range of basins marries Reece’s market-leading bathroom expertise with generations of ceramic mastery. Crafted from high-fired stoneware, the collection features curated finishes and enduring quality, defined by the signature and unique beauty of two custom glazes.
Kitchen+Bath Show attendees will also get an exclusive ‘first look’ at the Clay 300 basin, presented for the first time. Designed specifically as a compact powder room basin, this highly anticipated new addition to the celebrated Clay basin series offers visitors a preview of functional, small-space luxury and artisanal ceramic craftsmanship before the official release.
Alongside these exclusive debuts, the stand will exhibit Robert Gordon’s extensive catalogue of tabletop lighting, architectural sconces, and architectural basins. Members of the Robert Gordon design and trade teams will be on-site throughout the show to discuss custom specifications, bulk lead times, and project pipelines.
Meet them on Stand #1302 from 11-13 June 2026, at ICC Sydney.
