Ethical rug company, Armadillo & Co has launched several stunning new lines of perfectly imperfect rugs that are affordable but don’t look it, including the heirloom Agra and Indoor/Outdoor collection.
The brand captures the spirit of the past with Agra, an heirloom collection of hand-knotted designs inspired by ancient Persian rugs made using hand-dyed, handspun wool. The deep-cut pile designs, each one in a single saturated shade are a great way to add instant character, and warmth to any space. Ideal also, to soften modern architecture and create a more layered, cultured, eclectic look of natural imperfection in interiors. Choose from six fashion-conscious colours. Think ochre, dusky pink, charcoal, teal and more. Available in three sizes, 2.4 x 3m, 2.7 x 3.6m or 3 x 4.2m from $4000- $6900.
Then there’s a few new additions to Armadillo & Co’s popular indoor/outdoor all-weather rugs made from recyclable materials which are durable, need little maintenance, and come in a great range of subtle colours and patterns. The range is sun-and-rain-proof as well as being child-and-dog-and–husband-friendly. Ideal for big families who entertain a lot. Seek out newbies such as Horizon Weave, a simple knit design, (ranging from $280-$1480 in sizes 0.9 x 1.8m, 1.7 x 2.4 m, 2 x 3m and 2.5 x 3.5m), or Tide Weave, ranging from $280-$1480 (and come in sizes 0.9 x 1.8m, 1.7 x 2.4 m, 2 x 3m and 2.5 x 3.5m), that will soften spaces, and create focal points – great for those of us who are extra rough and tough in the house. Affordable, too. Choose from fab designs in varying sizes and smart neutral colour combos.
Then there’s Ghan, a textural combo of Soumak weaving and a trad Berber knot in a latte-hue that will add a layer of texture to any space. Three sizes, from $1620.
