Georgina Jeffries’ Definitive Design Products for 2025 - est living

We asked 50 of Australia’s leading architects and designers to share their definitive design selections for 2025 and beyond. Among them, Melbourne- and Lorne-based interior designer Georgina Jeffries distils her 12 noteworthy design products across furniture, lighting, fixtures, fittings, materials and kitchen appliances.

Our ‘Definitive Design Products’ series was first featured inside est magazine issue 56: ‘Living Connection’.

01. Edra Standard Sofa

“It’s flexible, sophisticated and comfy as hell,” Jeffries says of the Edra Standard sofa. “I haven’t met a room that it doesn’t suit.” Designed by Italian designer Francesco Binfaré, the piece features innovative ‘smart cushions’ that let the back and armrests adapt to the user’s needs.

02. Tacchini Le Mura Armchair

Described by Jeffries as a “big block of leather heaven”, the Tacchini Le Mura armchair by Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini is defined by its soft, bubble-like form, and a removable cover fastened with buckles and metal hinges.

03. Molteni&C Monk Chair

Italian husband-and-wife design duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s vintage Monk chairs are among the earliest icons of modern Italian design. “I’ve had a love affair with these chairs for the longest time,” Jeffries says. “They feel like an elegant take on the classic deck chair.”

04. Pierre Augustin Rose Duo Multilaque

For Jeffries, the Duo Multilaque coffee tables by Paris-based Pierre Augustin Rose “double as sculptures”. With their fluid, overlapping forms, lacquered tops and wide oak legs, each piece is shaped by the natural character of the wood.

05. Artedomus Calacatta Viola

Australian Artedomus Calacatta Viola marble is a staple in Jeffries’ designs, prized for its versatility across joinery, vanities and splashbacks. “I love the variety in these slabs,” she says. “Some have greys, caramels and golds, while others feature strong purple and red hues.”

06. Brodware Manhattan Range

According to Jeffries, the Australian-made Manhattan range by Brodware strikes a “perfect mix of classic and modern.” The range is available in a variety of finishes, including brass, nickel and chrome.

07. Noble Elements Olimpo Lever

Sydney-based Noble Elements’ Olimpo lever balances classic brass elements with modern functionality. “It’s rounded to perfection and complements the harder edges of doors perfectly,” Jeffries says.

08. Halcyon Lake Vintage Moroccan Tuareg 5

While Jeffries is no stranger to using Australian Halcyon Lake rugs in her designs, she’s particularly drawn to the Tuareg 5 for 2025. Sourced from the Sahara Desert and Mauritania, this one-of-a-kind piece is woven from palm reed and leather by nomadic tribes.

09. Uchiwa Wall Lamp

Designed by German industrial designer Ingo Maurer in the 1970s, the Uchiwa wall sconce is, as Jeffries puts it, “a magical combination of traditional artistry meeting German innovation.” Made from bamboo and Japanese rice paper, it draws inspiration from the delicate shape of a traditional handheld fan.

10. Alessi Moka Espresso Coffee Maker

In British architect David Chipperfield’s Alessi Moka espresso coffee maker, its flat lid doubles as a warming surface for cups, and the lever is positioned for one-handed use—ideal, Jeffries says, “because it fills my cup every morning!”

11. AGA eR3 Series 100-4 Cooker

Described by Jeffries as “classic, simple, no fuss”, the AGA eR3 100-4 Series cooker reflects traditional Swedish design with its two cast-iron ovens, warming oven and integrated cookware storage.

12. Flos Toio

“Its classic yet contemporary form can instantly give a traditional space an edge,” Jeffries says of the Flos Toio floor lamp. Designed in 1962 by Italian architects Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, it features a steel base, a hexagonal nickel-plated brass stem and a height-adjustable head.
