THE ESSENSE OF "AWA"
NEW ZEALAND WASHABLE WOOL RUG
TAUPE
ALMOND
"Awa" means river in Māori, symbolising the flow of freshwater across the land from its source, known as the headwaters. This reflects the deep connection to New Zealand's terrain, where McMullin's founder, Alice, was born and raised. As a New Zealander, Alice draws inspiration from her homeland, where Māori are connected to water and the natural world through whakapapa — a lineage that traces back from Ranginui and Papatūānuku to people and all elements of the environment.
FOUNDER'S VISION
“Homewares should have a purpose — they should be used and loved. It’s one thing to have a house that looks like a showroom, but you want pieces that are functional and still look great. In fact, they often look even better with use. It’s important to embrace the mess and the reality of living, and the Double x McMullin collection embodies this philosophy.”
Alice McMullin, Founder of McMullin
INSPIRED BY NATURE
Named "Awa," meaning "river" in Māori, the rug's design reflects the flow of freshwater across New Zealand's landscapes—a tribute to the country where McMullin's founder, Alice, was born and raised. Inspired by the Māori connection to water and nature through whakapapa, Alice's designs draw from her upbringing in Aotearoa, infusing the collection with the essence of New Zealand's natural beauty and heritage.
A NEW STANDARD
A new era of home design with Double's first-ever washable natural fibre rug in collaboration with McMullin. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in both brands' missions to create timeless pieces that redefine sustainability and elevate design standards — as purveyors of naturally derived products for an intentional and mindful home that still withstand the wear and tear of easy living. Sustainability lies at the core of this collection.
