Designers
Behind every considered bathroom collection is a designer with a clear point of view.
At Robertson Design Ideas, our brand partners work with some of the world’s most respected architects, artists and product designers, each bringing their own understanding of form, material, proportion and performance to the bathroom.
From Italian ceramic masters to internationally recognised design studios, these creatives help shape the products we specify, admire and bring into New Zealand homes, hotels and commercial spaces. Their work influences how a basin sits within a room, how tapware feels in the hand, how ceramic becomes sculptural, and how the bathroom can become a more expressive and personal space.
This section introduces the designers behind many of our leading collections, including names connected to Flaminia, Zucchetti, Kos, Alice Ceramica and other international bathroom brands. Explore their stories, discover the collections they have created, and learn how their design thinking continues to shape contemporary bathroom design.
