New Armadillo & Co Indoor Outdoor Rugs

Hand woven from 100% recycled polyester fibres (PET) and reflecting the company’s signature design aesthetic and love of texture, they can move from poolside to dining alfresco areas in a heartbeat. For us Melbournites, that’s a pretty impressive trick to have up your sleeve! Although the rugs look and feel like wool, they have exceptional durability and stain resistance; cleaning in just a quick hose down.

Brand co-founders Jodie Fried and Sally Pottharst took their inspiration from the environment, both living and non-living, to create the designs and choose the colour palette.

“In India where our rugs are hand woven, the mountains are places of immense spiritual importance and beauty,” says Jodie. “We also feel that connection, partly because our ethical rug manufacture supports many of the local people and communities.”

Continues Sally, “This collection is an exploration of the outdoors, from the landscapes to the elements, which meshes well with the intended environments for the rugs.”

The designs are elegant in their restraint and colour palettes. The neutral colours are ideal for contemporary outdoor settings, comprising greys, soft creams and black. A selection of marled colours – Glacier, Mineral, Fog, Basalt – brings an additional depth of colour to the weave.

Sizes available: 0.9 x 1.8m, 1.7 x 2.4 m, 2 x 3 m, 2.5 x 3.5 m and custom.
