Description
The Apollo is a modern abstract rug in grey and navy, with deep navy blue strokes breaking across a ground of ivory and soft grey, like layers of paint scraped back on a wall. The design runs in loose bands, so it reads as texture rather than a repeating motif. It is machine made from polypropylene and polyester, and the pile is multi-textured: some areas sit higher than others, giving the surface a raised, almost etched relief you can feel underfoot.
We think it belongs in a living room, where the navy works with blue or grey furnishings and the ivory keeps a darker floor from feeling heavy. It comes in four sizes. The 80 by 150cm rug suits a reading corner or the space in front of a fireplace, and the 120 by 170cm size sits neatly in front of a sofa. For a larger room, 160 by 220cm or 200 by 290cm is big enough to go under the front legs of a sofa and armchairs, pulling a seating area together.
The multi-textured pile is the feature to weigh up if you want more than a flat print: the raised and lower areas give the abstract design real depth, so it looks good close up as well as across the room. The metallic effect yarn adds a gentle sheen without turning the rug into anything flashy, which suits a calm, modern scheme. Before you order, measure the space and allow a border of floor around the rug.
