Woodstrokes by Brodie Neill

For London Craft Week 2025, designer Brodie Neill unveiled ‘Woodstrokes’ – a sculptural furniture collection that transforms salvaged timber into fluid, brushstroke-like forms. Presented alongside Armadillo rugs and ceramics by our co-founder Jodie Fried, the exhibition explores the quiet persistence of craft and the exceptional beauty of material reuse. In this conversation, Neill reflects on movement, memory and the intelligence embedded in the act of making. Photography by Mark Cocksedge & Angela Moore

Tom Fereday on the Making of AGRA FORMA

In an inspired collaboration that bridges the worlds of furniture and floor covering, Australian industrial designer Tom Fereday has joined forces with Armadillo to create AGRA FORMA – a seven-piece sculptural furniture collection grounded in a shared reverence for natural materials and quiet beauty. Unveiled at Melbourne Design Week and soon to make its international debut in Copenhagen, the collection invites a deeper conversation about craft, sustainability and the sensory potential of the spaces we live in. We spoke with Fereday about his creative process, the synergy behind the partnership and the role of design in shaping not just how our spaces look, but how they feel. Photography by Hamish McIntosh

Quiet Character with Lisa Pollock

Blending fashion instincts with a refined eye for interiors, designer Lisa Pollock has crafted a luminous, layered home in Boca Raton, Florida that is equal parts sculptural and soulful. Rich in texture and anchored by expressive forms, including an edit of our handcrafted rugs, the space reflects her signature balance of quiet luxury and lived-in warmth. Through an appreciation for narrative and nuance, Pollock creates a space that feels both thoughtfully curated and deeply human.

New Era with Molly Kidd

Molly Kidd’s design ethos is a dance between nostalgia and innovation, where vintage elements meet modern sophistication. Her aesthetic blends the earthy materials of the Pacific Northwest with the tailored elegance of European craftsmanship, creating spaces that feel both timeless and inviting. With a keen eye for detail, Molly approaches each project like curating a work of art – ensuring the end result is practical, luxurious and a reflection of the people who inhabit it.

The Pop-Up Gallery by Studio Trovato

Conceived by Erin Hupp and Jaime Lovejoy, the annual Pop-Up Gallery showcases the works of women artists from across the Bay Area in unused retail spaces. The unique format gives visitors and collectors the rare opportunity to connect directly with exhibiting painters, sculptors and ceramicists. Late last year, designers Erin Hiemstra and Jeanne Chan of Studio Trovato were invited to style the old Mill Mercantile space in San Francisco’s Noe Valley for the fourth anniversary show, entitled “Interwoven”, which explored the theme of interconnection.
