GAIA is a tactile ode to the natural world, capturing the shifting cycles of sun, wind and sea across six richly layered rug designs. The collection - a collaboration with Catalonian artist Carla Cascales Alimbau - blends silk, wool, linen and jute into woven landscapes with subtle tonal shifts, inviting a deeper connection to the earth from our interior surroundings.
INTRODUCING
Carla Cascales Alimbau
GAIA marks a new chapter for Armadillo, where technical mastery meets a deeper enquiry into form and texture. Shaped in dialogue with Barcelona-based artist Carla Cascales Alimbau, the collection draws on her sensitivity to organic imperfection while extending our own craftsmanship into uncharted territory.
Discover Marea and Alma
The signature expression of GAIA, Marea and Alma fuse artistry and innovation in textural form - from hand-carved wool gradients to shimmering silk-wool oxidisation in gentle earthen hues. Sculptural and painterly, offering quiet poetry underfoot, they are designed to be cherished as artworks in their own right.

Living Art Underfoot: Marea and Alma
Our rugs lie lightly on this earth.
We’re here to make a difference. Not only in the sanctuary of the home, but in the world around us. We hope to inspire a more natural pace of life with products that are gentle to the senses and kinder to the environment. As the first US and Australian rug maker to achieve B Corp status, we practice ethical living in all we do.
