Armadillo

Today marks International Volunteer Day, mandated by the United Nations as a moment to celebrate and raise awareness of the important role that volunteers play in responding to challenges facing the world. Every day, volunteers dedicate their time and effort to ensure the inclusion of those left behind, drive climate action and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. At Armadillo, each employee receives two days of paid Cultural & Community Leave per year to participate in community-based activities or volunteer with local charities. To date, our team has used this leave to join environmental clean-up days, donate blood and work with our philanthropic partners. We also allow the flexibility for this leave to be used to celebrate a day that is culturally significant to them. In FY24, over 27% of our team utilised this entitlement, with another 25% of the team noting that they regularly volunteer in their own time. We are proud to facilitate our people in giving back to their communities and supporting causes close to their heart. #volunteering #volunteer #unitednations #internationalvolunteerday #sdgs #people #culture #community

Melbourne-based artist Ro Noonan transforms discarded construction materials into striking artworks. By highlighting their inherent beauty, Ro creates pieces that reflect both a raw aesthetic and a reverence for craftsmanship, testing the ability of these elements to coexist in new forms. His work can be viewed at Craft Victoria as part of the "Fables & Folklore" exhibition, curated by Simone Haag and open from today until the end of January.

At Armadillo, each rug is handcrafted from natural fibres and accompanied by a Declare Label that outlines its life expectancy and end of life options. Whether silk, wool, linen or jute, it takes between 2 weeks to 3 years to biodegrade – compared to synthetic rugs, which can take over 200 years to fully break down. That’s why you can be assured that our rugs are healthy for the home and safe for the planet. #design #craftsmanship #madebyhand #sustainability #sustainable #bcorp #interiordesign #architecture
