Created in collaboration with Powerhouse Made™, the Academy Picnic Rug extends Fiona Lynch and Waverley Mills’ partnership into a new format, developed alongside the Academy Throws. Woven from a broader 29-micron Tasmanian wool, it is equally soft and robust enough to sit or lie on, spread across grass, tough earth or a park bench. It comes in three colourways drawn from the same Academy palette as the throws, and is carded, spun, dyed and woven on site at Waverley Mills–Australia's last fully vertical woollen mill, using wool grown in Tasmania's Northern Midlands.

"The Fiona Lynch x Waverley Mills Collection reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, design excellence, craftsmanship and a deep love of merino wool." – Fran Maiale, CEO, Waverley Mills

Fiona Lynch x Waverley Mills

Waverley Mills is Australia's last fully vertical woollen mill, carding, spinning, dyeing and weaving entirely on site in Launceston since 1874. For Powerhouse Parramatta, the mill partnered with interior designer Fiona Lynch, one of more than fifty Australian designers commissioned to shape the new museum, to create a range of woollen throws and a picnic rug for the Academy. Lynch's own studio designed the immersive interiors of the Lang Walker Family Academy's overnight accommodation spaces within Powerhouse Parramatta, where up to ten thousand secondary students from regional New South Wales and Western Sydney will stay each year, and the throws extend that same colour language into something people can take home.
