Caesarstone has announced the 2026 Caesarstone Circle, an exclusive bi-annual program that recognizes and celebrates a select group of design professionals who are shaping the future of interior design. The members are chosen not only for their creative excellence and industry influence, but also for their ability to inspire others through intentional, expressive and technically thoughtful design.
The five new members of this exclusive group include Sara Malek Barney of BANDD Design, Hill Rondero of Ro House, Matthew Quinn of Matthew Quinn Collective, Jessica Davis of Atelier Design and Jennifer Hutton of Grau Design Studio. They will be spotlighted throughout the year, with opportunities to collaborate, share insights, and showcase their work on Caesarstone’s platforms and at industry events.
“We champion creators who set the pace of the industry and infuse every space with vision, emotion and depth,” said Lindsey Waldrep, vice president of marketing at Caesarstone. “These designers embody the future of our industry and inspire others to think differently. The Caesarstone Circle is about honoring that kind of leadership and giving it a platform to grow. We’re proud to collaborate with these incredible talents and help share their voices.”

Over the years, the Caesarstone Circle has partnered with designers who influence not just what’s trending now but what’s next. Previous Caesarstone Circle members include Joy Green, Camille Styles, Kickie Chudikova, Vanessa Fong and Marti Gallucci.
