The Emperor 310 Onyx EMP10 Silver Runner showcases a flowing abstract marbled design with layered tonal effects and a soft metallic sheen that subtly shifts with the light. The pattern blends smooth transitions and distressed textures, creating a sense of movement, depth, and contemporary elegance. Its hi-low textured 12 mm pile adds tactile dimension, enhancing the sculptural look and providing a soft, luxurious feel underfoot.

Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a polypropylene and polyester blend, this rug is durable, non-shedding, and easy to maintain, making it suitable for everyday living while still feeling refined and elevated. Its light-responsive finish means the rug may appear lighter or darker depending on viewing angle and natural light, adding a beautiful dynamic quality.

Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan contemporary spaces, the Emperor Onyx Silver balances a calm, modern palette with subtle visual texture — creating a sophisticated statement piece that remains versatile and timeless.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Soft Silver Grey – Acting as the dominant background tone, setting a cool and serene foundation.

• Pale Mist Grey – Blended throughout the mid-tones to soften transitions and maintain a smooth visual flow.

• Charcoal Grey – Found in deeper distressed areas, adding contrast and depth to anchor the design.

• Ivory White – Lightly interwoven to lift and brighten the composition without overpowering it.

• Frosted Silver – Present in the raised textured highlights, contributing a soft metallic sheen and dimensional shimmer.

• Slate Grey – Subtly layered into shadowed sections to enhance structure and visual depth.

The Emperor 310 Onyx EMP10 Silver Runner brings together Soft Silver Grey, Pale Mist Grey, Charcoal Grey, Ivory White, Frosted Silver, and Slate Grey to create a refined, cool-toned modern palette. Its 12 mm hi-low textured pile and light-reactive sheen give the rug a luxurious, dimensional finish, making it a versatile and elegant choice for both minimalist and softly styled interiors.

🧵 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.
