The myriad effects of colour on the human psyche, be it the soothing effects of blue or yellow’s upbeat familiarity, are well known. Armadillo’s Custom Colour Range taps into this intrinsic value of colour, offering an extensive range of hues drawn from nature, brought to life across a range of luxurious, hand-knotted rugs.

The Custom Colour Range gives way to a stunning collection of premium textiles with colour at its very core. Spanning 54 sumptuous shades across 10 palettes, this collection embodies our instinctual desire to make decisions informed by colour and emotion. The range is generous in its offering, yet the colour selection has been meticulously edited to reflect Armadillo’s refined palette. The spectrum ranges from rust and terracotta to creamy hues of biscuit and taupe. Warmth and optimism can be found in the luminous glow of turmeric and tangelo, while fresh shades of eucalyptus and sage are restful. Striking slate and anthracite round out the offering with reassuring finality.

Worked in a single colour, all 54 shades are brought to life with Armadillo’s Agra rug. It is the perfect vessel for the Custom Colour Range; each shade – in its vivid or achromatic glory – is the clear hero.

Worked in a single colour, all 54 shades are brought to life with Armadillo’s Agra rug, selected for its plush wool pile and ability to carry colour. Hand-knotted from the finest abrash-dyed wool, the deep cut pile reflects light and is effortlessly enlivened by tonal variations. The result is a highly refined rug that is also lush underfoot. It is the perfect vessel for the Custom Colour Range; each shade – in its vivid or achromatic glory – is the clear hero.

A collection that arouses our creative senses while nodding to artisanship and sustainability is no new feat for Armadillo. For over a decade, the Australian company has forged a steady path in designing and manufacturing rugs of the highest quality. Beauty and sustainability go hand in hand here – not only is Armadillo driven by longevity and exceptional design, but the company’s mantra of ensuring the rugs “lie lightly on this earth” informs every move.

Focusing on these core values, Armadillo’s Custom Colour Range exemplifies understated elegance. It allows us to harness the intangible quality of colour at home and tap into a spectrum of hues that promises to satiate all our chromatic cravings.
