"Hand of the Maker celebrates the subtle textures and physical intuition that define the handmade, bringing together Robert Gordon’s eight decades of ceramic heritage with the fluid, handblown works of HotHaus"

— The Design Files

For Melbourne Design Week, HotHaus and Robert Gordon Pottery present their collaborative lighting range, taking inspiration from the muted hues and patterns of the Australian bush. It is a celebration of craftsmanship that honours the weight of tradition, while embracing the lightness of modern innovation.

At its heart, this collection is a celebration of what happens when two local studios come together and create. The subtle textures, the physical intuition, the imperfections that make a handmade object impossible to replicate.
