About this product
Budbili Rug — Sustainable, Durable Classroom Rug Inspired by Nature and Culture
The Budbili Rug (pronounced bood-billy) takes its name from the Dharug Aboriginal word for “possum skin rug” — a respectful nod to traditional forms of warmth and gathering. Rest assured, no possum skins are used in the making of this product. At Koskela, we use First Nations language to name the Learn by Koskela collection, as part of our ongoing commitment to cultural respect and inclusion.
Designed for contemporary classrooms, libraries, and collaborative education spaces, Budbili brings visual warmth, acoustic softness, and biophilic benefits into learning environments.
Made using natural goat hair this carpet is sustainably sourced and naturally stain-resistant. The yarn blend includes a small percentage of regenerated fibres for enhanced durability and a corded construction that helps disguise soiling — ideal for high-traffic areas like classrooms.
The unique curved triangle shape draws inspiration from the Yakka Desk, encouraging a sense of spatial flow. Available in two colourways (solid or colour-inverted), Budbili can serve as both a soft gathering area and a visual focal point in the room.
In addition to its tactile appeal, the Budbili Rug contributes to better indoor air quality, energy savings, and sound absorption, supporting a calmer, more focused learning environment.

We recognise that the long-term durability of Koskela’s furniture is a critical success factor for your project. Throughout Koskela’s 7-year Warranty, if you do require assistance or maintenance, reach out to us and we can visit site and perform a Maintenance Service.
During the visit, our skilled Maintenance team will ensure you are happy with the installation. If any structural defects become apparent during a Maintenance visit, the team will rectify the issue on the spot, or lodge a job and organise its repair within 30 days.
We will create a Maintenance report for you, which itemises your Koskela furniture and makes recommendations for refurbishments that occur due to wear and tear. Ongoing maintenance will improve and extend the quality use of your furniture.
At the core of Koskela’s enviro conscious policy is our commitment to make high-quality products that last for years and can be repaired if something goes wrong. Our products are designed to be the highest standards of quality and functionality. While we believe our furniture will last as long as possible, if something does go wrong, we are here to help.
