Earlier this year, we asked 50 of Australia’s leading architects and designers to vote on their definitive list of products for 2025. In this instalment, we spotlight the bathroom—from tiles to bathware and tapware—revealing the products and brands that resonate most, and why.
This instalment of ‘Definitive Design Products’ series was featured inside est magazine issue #58: ‘Creative Minds at Home’.

“The Glazed Cotto Zellige range by Eco Outdoor. This range creates a unique and imperfect environment through colour, texture and scale.”
