During the search for the uncommon these two realised they had something in common, a passion for honest and earthy rugs for their own home. A vast search did not find what they were looking for and they decided to build a business around their shared philosophy.
Sharing 30 years’ experience in design and textiles, they combined forces not only with each other, but with what we now consider our extended family of artisans in India.
Armadillo&Co. has an extensive range, if there is something we don’t have online contact us and we will get it in, but some of our favourites include; The Sierra Weave Rug is an Armadillo&Co. staple and is sumptuously soft and comfortingly cosy, this rug features in all of our campaign shoots, is handcrafted from a luxurious wool blend in a ‘jagged peak’ design and is reminiscent of a knit fabric. Think mountainous landscapes, the Armadillo&Co. Sherpa Weave Rug provides texture and warmth to any interior spaces. Thick, sturdy hemp is set against wavering lines of luxurious wool to balance generous doses of differing texture in the Kalahari Weave Armadillo Rug. The Herringbone Weave Rug from Armadillo&Co. is a classic. This rug is a handsome pattern with a deep woolen pile, bringing a soft warmth and timeless look to any space.
