The Emperor 310 Onyx EMP10 Aqua Rug brings a luxurious, contemporary statement to the home with its layered marbled design and soft metallic sheen that shifts gently with the light. The abstract pattern features fluid streaks, weathered textures, and stone-like veining, creating a sense of depth and natural movement across the surface. This expressive visual effect is enhanced by a textured hi-low pile, giving the rug a tactile, sculptural dimension that feels both modern and refined. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a blend of polypropylene and polyester, the rug offers a super-soft 12 mm pile that feels plush underfoot while remaining durable, non-shedding, and practical for everyday living. The light-reactive fibres allow the rug to appear lighter or darker from different angles, adding an elegant and atmospheric finish to any room. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan interiors, the Emperor Onyx Rug provides a perfect balance of comfort, style, and bold modern character.

The colours and shades present in this rug include:

• Aqua Green – The dominant tone, offering a refreshing, modern, oceanic base.

• Steel Grey – Interwoven to enhance depth and sharpen the layered abstract structure.

• Ivory – Used in light-catching highlights to soften the palette and add brightness.

• Silver – Subtly layered to amplify the metallic sheen and reflective movement.

• Charcoal Grey – Grounding the design with bold linear contrast and visual definition.

• Soft Taupe – Blended into distressed textures to warm the cool palette and add natural balance.

The Emperor 310 Onyx EMP10 Aqua Rug combines Aqua Green, Steel Grey, Ivory, Silver, Charcoal Grey, and Soft Taupe to create a harmonious interplay of cool and warm tones, enhanced by a luxurious hi-low textured pile and light-reactive sheen. With its super-soft 12 mm polyblend pile and abstract stone-inspired design, it delivers depth, comfort, and sophisticated modern style — making it a standout centrepiece for contemporary living spaces.

🧵 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.
