"We define ourselves through contrast, by what we are and what we are not. Unveiled internationally during this year's 3daysofdesign, Armadillo proudly explores these narratives with its debut furniture collection Agra Forma. Designed by Sydney-based designer Tom Fereday, these furnishings find themselves through juxtaposition, presenting seven pieces that explore the intersection of carpentry and rug making, a place where wood and fiber combine to create something special."
"Through rigorous collaboration, Armadillo extends their honest approach and respect for material into the world of furniture. Rich hues like Ginger and Thistle create lovely compositions with the oak, banks of texture floating on a sea of soft wood tones. Smartly wrought fillets adorn specific edges, creating delicate interactions between the materials. And striations of the natural grain are thrown into relief by the light finishing, preferring to let the wood speak for itself."
"Sturdy, linear legs create a visually strong base for more complex curves like the seat of the chair and the back, which fit neatly onto simple, secure angles. The inset carpet sits slightly above the profile of the wood, offering a soft edge to rest upon - an angle expertly accounted for to not touch the intersection between materials, and pinch in between."
Agra Forma is a seven-piece furniture collection that examines the juxtaposition of carpentry and rug making. The series comprises an armchair, stool, desk, chair, low stool, and two ottomans, each showcasing the Agra rug as a defining element. Construction pairs abrash-dyed wool with sustainable American red oak to emphasize craftsmanship, durability, and tactile harmony between materials. Design features include refined curves, sturdy linear legs, inset carpets that sit slightly above wood profiles, smartly wrought fillets, and light finishes that highlight natural grain while allowing colorways like Ginger and Thistle to complement the oak.
