Australian rug brand Armadillo has teamed up with British interior design studio House of Grey to create a collection of minimal rugs that references the tones and textures found in nature.
The Ellipse Collection is a collaboration between Armadillo and the London-based practice led by interior designer Louisa Grey, which aims to create products with positive ecological and health properties.
The Ellipse Collection is a minimalist range of neutral-coloured rugs
The collection, which is shortlisted in the homeware design category of Dezeen Awards 2021, comprises five rug designs that are handmade in India using only sustainably-sourced natural fibres.
"We were driven to create pieces of integrity that simply could not be found elsewhere," said the studio. "Throughout the design process, we sought to evoke a sense of tranquillity while pushing the envelope in terms of innovation and technique."
The studio drew on the tones and textures found in nature for the rugs
Ellipse Collection rugs are made using natural fibres such as jute, wool and linen that will last a long time and eventually biodegrade at the end of their lifespan, helping to minimise their impact on the planet.
The materials are either left in their original state or dyed, before being hand-knotted on traditional looms in a production process conducted according to Fair Trade practices.
