The Elysium Huracan ELY03 Grey Runner presents a striking cracked-marble abstract design that blends modern drama with refined sophistication. Its tonal composition captures the beauty of fractured stone, enhanced by shimmering highlights that shift elegantly with the light. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a premium blend of 35% polypropylene, 35% polyester, and 30% shiny shrink polyester, this rug features a low-profile 8 mm cut-shrink textured pile that delivers a velvet-touch softness and contemporary metallic lustre. The durable jute backing provides strength and stability, while the short pile height ensures easy maintenance and practicality, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan spaces.

The interplay between its cool grey tones and shimmering highlights creates a dynamic surface texture, adding both visual and tactile depth. Designed for those who appreciate modern minimalism with a luxurious edge, this rug embodies contemporary elegance through precision craftsmanship and tonal layering.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Stone Grey – Acting as the primary base colour, creating a soft neutral foundation that lightens the palette.

• Graphite Grey – Spreading across the darker background areas, grounding the overall design.

• Charcoal Black – Forming the bold cracked-vein pattern that runs throughout, giving the design a dramatic and contemporary edge.

• Pewter – Subtly interwoven within the marbled sections, adding depth and a metallic-like sophistication.

• Ivory – Appearing in the lighter high-pile sections, brightening the design and offering striking contrast.

• Silver Sheen – Scattered through select raised areas, reflecting light and enhancing the rug’s luxurious feel.

The Elysium Huracan ELY03 Grey Runner combines Stone Grey, Graphite Grey, Charcoal Black, Pewter, Ivory, and Silver Sheen to create a bold yet balanced aesthetic. Its 8 mm low-profile cut-shrink textured pile delivers a velvet-touch finish with metallic depth and light-reflective highlights, evoking the natural veining of polished marble. Perfect for modern interiors, this rug introduces a statement of elegant strength, merging durability, texture, and contemporary design for a visually stunning result.

🧵 Cut Pile Rug Characteristics
Every rug has a pile direction — the direction in which the fibres run. With a cut pile rug with a shimmer, light reflects off the fibres differently, which can make the rug appear lighter or darker depending on where you are standing. You can see this by looking at the rug from one end of the room, then walking to the other end and looking back — it may appear darker in one direction and lighter in the other. This is not a manufacturing fault but a natural characteristic of cut pile rugs. It’s worth keeping in mind when deciding where to place the rug, especially if the appearance of it being lighter or darker from one side might matter in your space. This effect is in ranges such as Aurora, Craft, and Apollo.
