What Australia's most stylish are wishing for this Christmas

From art and ceramics to disco balls and butterfly chairs, here are the dazzling and delightful gifts the stylish are wishing for in this merriest of seasons.

Lana Wilkinson

Shoe designer and fashion stylist

“I would love this print, Bagged It by Dina Broadhurst, as a feature for our entrance hall. I love the muted colours, it’s chic, and it’s Marni – what’s not to love?”

Aurelio Costarella

Designer

“A ceramic piece by Chrissie Hogan please. I have a love of stoneware that goes back to when I was a kid, and I love the pure, hand-crafted, organic nature of each of her vessels. There is something warm and magical about Chrissie’s work that speaks to me.

“In a quest to simplify, I’ve stopped consuming in recent years and very seldom see anything that I feel I absolutely need in my life. If it doesn’t make my heart sing I figure I don’t need it, but I’d use any of these for an early morning coffee or as part of a daily green tea ritual while working on my watercolour art.”

Kerrie-Ann Jones

Photographic interior stylist

“I would like the Lou Lou vase by one of my favourite brands Maison Balzac. The shape and the monochromatic colour palette make it fun and playful yet sophisticated. It’s a great vase for Christmas flowers or as a beautiful object styled in a vignette on a bookshelf.”

Damion Downey

Artist and former frontman for Sneaky Sound System

“I want a 1.5-metre wide Disco Ball from Empire Homewares. I would put it above the bed. Is that too creepy?”

Liz Casella

LA-based Australian textile designer

“I recently discovered vintage Bitossi Seta Mid Century compotes and vases and have been building a collection. The patterns are hand-etched in gold and the colour combinations are really beautiful. Another for the collection, or a piece of Alighieri jewellery is always on my wish list.”

Claire Fabb

Fashion stylist, Style by Yellow Button

“I’m obsessed with [a] chair from Jardan. I love the sculptured element, the female form, and the simplicity of the design. It’s also very comfortable. I would place it in my office because I get inspired by beautiful pieces in the work that I do, and my environment plays a key role in this.”

 Nicole Rosenberg

Interior designer, Liberty Interiors

“Having just come back from Italy and being inspired by all of the drool-worthy furniture on offer. I would have to say a standout occasional chair from one of my favourite Melbourne Italian furniture stores Domo or the Plumy chair from Ligne Roset in watermelon is on my list!

“The Plumy chair has been iconic for over 35 years now and is still going strong in interior decoration across the globe – it’s a standout piece for me because of its unusual block construction and unique design which can be folded into a chaise lounge position for an even more relaxing experience. This would be perfect in my formal lounge room for a pop of colour and would work in perfectly with my colourful geometric art work hanging over my mantel.”

Megan Sauerbier

Designer, Daughters of India

“At the top of my list is a Tripolina butterfly chair by Muumuudesign. I have my eye on the earthy colour-way. This Christmas my husband and I are taking off with our four children to travel around Australia in our 1967 Bedford bus for a year, and I can see these chairs will be my best friend on a daily basis. Oh, the places these chairs will see! I love that they are Australian-made and don’t lack style just to be functional. They have it all!”
