Description
The Apollo is a modern abstract rug in a Grey / Silver colourway. Its design looks like layers of dry brushwork: fine crosshatched strokes of darker grey break across a pale silver and ivory ground, gathering thickly in places and fading out in others. It is machine woven with two levels of pile, a high pile of 100% polypropylene and a low pile of 100% polyester, so the pattern sits in gentle relief across the surface. The pile is soft underfoot.
It is made for the living room, where its quiet grey palette sits easily with pale walls, wooden floors and neutral furniture. We offer it in four sizes. The 80 by 150cm rug fits beside a sofa or in front of an armchair, and the 120 by 170cm size anchors a reading corner or a small seating area. For larger rooms, the 160 by 230cm and 200 by 290cm sizes sit comfortably under a coffee table, with the front legs of the sofa and chairs resting on the rug to pull the whole seating arrangement together.
Because it is hard wearing, it suits a living room in daily use rather than one kept for best. It is stain resistant as well, which gives you a head start on the everyday spills a busy room brings, and the mix of grey and silver is forgiving of light marks between cleans. For day to day care, a regular vacuum keeps the pile looking fresh, and turning the rug now and then helps it wear evenly.
