For more than a century, the grandeur of Australia’s coastal and farmhouse residences, and the refined elements of traditional Australian architecture have shaped a distinct vision of home. Weatherboards, high ceilings, large windows and indoor-outdoor flow speak of simple pleasures and an easy connection with the ocean.

Caroma’s new Riviere Collection invites architects and designers to revisit the Australian coastal and farmhouse aesthetic as a cohesive, whole-of-bathroom collection. Rather than combining taps, toilets and basins from different suppliers, Caroma Riviere offers a complete suite of tapware, basins, toilets, baths and accessories, unified by an elegant design language that takes its cues from the homes of the past while embracing modern performance and sustainability.

“The Riviere Collection strikes a balance between character and functionality, offering pieces that feel both contemporary and enduring,” says Lead Industrial Designer Luke Di Michiel.

A dialogue between past and present

Caroma Riviere takes cues from Australia’s architectural history, recalling the curves of cornice moulding, refined metalwork details and classic proportions, but distils them into refined, contemporary designs for today’s bathrooms. It is an elegant blend of heritage and modern styles.

Importantly, Caroma Riviere brings an innovative new toilet design that cues the style of the past, but with modern formats and proportions. Our engineers have integrated the brand’s latest water-saving and hygiene technologies, from our market-leading Cleanflush feature to our non-porous Germgard ceramics.

It’s a reminder that timeless design, technology and sustainability can and should coexist.

Designed for specification clarity and coherence

If the success of a design lies in its details, the Caroma Riviere collection makes it easier for architects to achieve coherence. Whether it is in the bathroom, or even in the laundry and kitchen, every element and product is designed to work together. There’s no need to juggle finishes or worry about misaligned profiles. The taps match the basin proportions, the accessories pick up the same curves, the bath and toilet carry the same design language, and the result is a collection that feels intentional rather than assembled. And the Caroma Colour palette is designed to work, not only with the other Riviere products, but across our Collections – allowing designers to mix & match seamlessly.

A new chapter in the Collections narrative

In recent history, Caroma has made a commitment to offering a full suite of designs across its Collections. With Riviere, we extend that journey into the realm of classical Australian bathroom design, challenging the assumption that this style must always be assembled from parts. By offering a complete, harmonious collection, Caroma empowers architects to deliver the warm, textured atmosphere clients crave without sacrificing contemporary performance or environmental responsibility.

In doing so, Caroma Riviere reframes the conversation around coastal and farmhouse elegance for the 2020s and beyond, not as nostalgia, but as a living design language that can evolve with us.
