The Navi Home Collection: Where Culinary Craftsmanship Becomes Fine Art for Your Table

A Meeting of Minds and Muses

Hills is more than a chef; he’s a Fine Arts grad with a knack for ceramics. And as fate (and a shared RMIT Fine Arts background) would have it, he teamed up with Bobby Gordon of Robert Gordon Pottery to create a collection that fuses their expertise in food and art. Crafted locally in Pakenham, each piece is more than just something to eat off—it’s a carefully considered slice of Melbourne’s design and dining scene.

Earthy Glazes and Textures Inspired by Victoria’s Wild Beauty

The Navi Home Collection doesn’t just look good; it tells a story, capturing the rugged beauty of Victoria’s landscapes in three unique reactive glazes:

• Marsh – Deep, earthy tones that call to mind misty wetlands and dense, shadowed forests.
• Docklands – An industrial grey inspired by Melbourne’s urban waterfront, bringing a city edge to your table.
• Low Tide – Sandy, beachy hues with hints of soft blue, evoking the shoreline at dawn.

Each glaze highlights the hand-crafted nature of the collection, and whether you mix or match, they make for a table setting that feels dynamic, elegant, and uniquely Melbourne.

Made with Heart and a Whole Lot of Hands

These plates, bowls, and cups don’t just magically appear on your table—they pass through twelve sets of hands before they’re ready for yours, each touch adding a level of care and precision that’s rare in mass-produced dinnerware. The result is serveware that’s as much about function as it is about form, designed to make every meal feel like an occasion without the pretence.

From Farm to Fine Dining, and Now to Your Home

Growing up on a 40-acre farm, Hills was raised with a reverence for local ingredients and sustainable practices. That ethos shines at Navi, where dishes might include foraged sea greens, smoked bonito, or honeyed dashi, all served on plates he once crafted in his own makeshift studio. Now, through the Navi Home Collection, you can bring a little of that magic to your own table, enjoying the same meticulous craftsmanship Hills brings to every dish at Navi.
