For five decades, King Living has pushed the boundaries of furniture design. This year, we’re proud to share that our commitment to innovation and craftsmanship has been recognised once again.  

At the 2024 Australian Good Design Awards, we took home two prestigious awards, cementing our place as leaders in the world of furniture design. 

The Good Design Awards are Australia’s oldest and most respected international design awards, highlighting the role great design plays in transforming everyday life.  

Held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Sydney, this year’s ceremony was attended by over 1,000 guests from the design, architecture, and business sectors.  

The theme, "The Design Effect," focused on how design impacts the products and services we create and how it drives sustainability and reduces our carbon footprint. 

Our award-winning designs

This year, we’re honored to have two of our designs recognised: the Delta Coast Sofa and the Heritage Extension Dining Table.  

Both products reflect our passion for creating beautiful, functional furniture that enhances the way we live. 

Featuring the Delta Coast Sofa in Sorrento Whitewash.

Delta Coast Sofa 

The Delta Coast Sofa embodies the relaxed Australian lifestyle. With its laid-back aesthetic and unmatched modular flexibility, this sofa is perfect for spaces where comfort and versatility are key.  

Delta Coast is designed to reconfigure easily, offering endless possibilities—including transforming into a guest bed. Slipcovered for a casual appeal, the tailored covers are easily replaced for a fresh new seasonal style or removed for machine washing on selected fabrics. 

The Delta Coast Sofa effortlessly rearranges into a guest bed.

Our in-house design team’s attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed by the Good Design Awards jury, who commented: 

"The range’s adaptability, ease of reconfiguration, and attention to repairability exemplify high-quality craftsmanship. The Jury was impressed by the balance of comfort, functionality, and practicality, particularly in transforming from a sofa to a guest bed." 

Featuring the Heritage Extension Dining Table in Natural Oak. 

Heritage Extension Dining Table 

The Heritage Extension Dining Table combines timeless beauty with practical design. Crafted with sculptural, angled legs, a luxurious timber tabletop, and durable steel frame, this piece is built to last for generations.  

With our exclusive SoftTouch Extension Technology®, the table expands effortlessly from a 6-seater to 10-seater to accommodate more guests. Users can simply slide out one table end while the other glides into place with synchronised movement and open the extension leaf to complete the transition. 

The Heritage Dining Extension Table easily expands from a 6-seater to 10-seater.

The jury commended the table’s seamless functionality, stating:  

"The Heritage Extension Dining Table features innovative SoftTouch Extension Technology®, allowing for effortless transformation between different seating capacities. This design excels in functionality and ease of use, making it a valuable addition to both formal and casual dining settings. The Jury applauds the intuitive approach to extendable furniture."
