“Armadillo has the sympathetic shyness of the animal from which it gets its name and the unmistakable signature of the Valencian studio in its silhouette.” – MUT Design

Multidisciplinary design team MUT Design joins forces with Expormim and creates Armadillo armchair, a postmodern version of a furniture classic: the papasan.

Far from being relegated to a corner, Armadillo blends beauty, Mediterranean essence, and the craftmanship of Expormim in such a provocative way that you are encouraged to sit down on it.

The Armadillo’s design has been awarded a 2020 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

As the designers claim, this project is an ode to calm, a new design made in Mogente (Valencia) at the service of craftsmen who still bend and sand the rods by hand providing guaranteed stability and almost transparent visibility.
