Watch a complete overview of the Armadillo Collection in action. Solid foam construction, no metal or wooden components, and finished with our registered LimberShield® proprietary surface finish. See why the Armadillo Collection is the benchmark for anti-ligature furniture in mental health, corrections, and youth justice environments across New Zealand and Australia.

LimberShield® is Abecca’s registered proprietary surface finish, applied to every piece in the Armadillo Collection. Engineered to resist impact, penetration, and the daily demands of high-risk environments, we dropped a sharpened chisel from twelve feet to test its surface integrity. Watch what happens.

How much can the Armadillo Collection take? We drove a truck over it to find out. Solid foam construction means no joints to work loose, no frames to crack, and no fixings to fail. The Armadillo Collection is backed by our seven-year structural guarantee because we know it will hold up in even the most demanding environments.

What happens when an Armadillo Collection chair is thrown at a full glass window? We put it to the test. Armadillo furniture is substantial enough to resist casual weaponisation, and engineered so that in the rare event it is thrown, it causes no harm to people or property. Watch the proof.

The Armadillo Collection is fully waterproof, inside and out. No exterior seams and our LimberShield® surface finish are engineered to withstand the cleaning and infection control demands of mental health units, corrections facilities, and youth justice environments. Watch the submersion test.

Fire safety is a non-negotiable compliance requirement in mental health and corrections facilities. Every piece in the Armadillo Collection is built to meet the fire safety standards your facility requires. Watch what happens when we put the Armadillo Collection directly in the flame.

A closer look at the materials and construction behind the Armadillo Collection. Every piece is built from solid foam with no metal or wooden components, making it fully anti-ligature by design. This video explores how Abecca’s unique construction approach delivers safety, durability, and comfort in a single piece of furniture.

On why the Armadillo Collection with LimberShield® was an easy decision seamless construction, fire retardant, fully waterproof, easy for staff to clean, and robust enough that clients simply cannot damage it the way they could with previous furniture. Comfortable enough that people actually want to sit in it.
