Description
The Apollo is a modern abstract rug in grey and cream, its colourway named Grey / Ivory. The design spreads across the whole rug like veined marble, with soft grey patches broken by fine darker lines and lighter flecks of cream, so there is no central motif to line up with your furniture. It is machine made from polypropylene and polyester, and the pile is multi-textured: some areas sit higher than others, which picks out the veining and gives the surface real depth underfoot.
We see it most at home in a living room, where its quiet palette works with pale walls, wooden floors and grey or neutral upholstery. It comes in four sizes. The 80 by 150cm rug suits a reading corner beside an armchair, while the 120 by 170cm and 160 by 220cm sizes sit well in front of a sofa or under a coffee table. The 200 by 290cm size is large enough to anchor a whole seating area in a bigger room.
Running through the pile is a metallic effect yarn, which gives the grey and cream a gentle sheen as the light changes, so you get a little shimmer without bold colour or a busy print. The multi-textured pile means the pattern reads from across the room as well as up close. Measure the space you want to cover before choosing, leaving a margin of floor around the edges, and pick the size that lets the front legs of your sofa or chairs rest on the rug.
