The Emperor 320 Styra EMP20 Navy Runner brings a luxurious, contemporary statement to the home with its layered abstract marbled design and soft metallic shimmer that catches the light beautifully. Its artistic pattern features fluid streaks, weathered textures, and stone-like veining, giving the surface a sense of depth, movement, and modern character. This sculptural effect is enhanced by a textured hi-low pile, adding dimensional richness and a tactile, refined feel underfoot. Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a premium polypropylene and polyester blend, the rug offers a super-soft 12 mm pile that feels plush and comfortable while remaining durable, non-shedding, and easy to maintain for everyday living. The light-reactive fibres subtly shift tone depending on lighting and viewing angle, giving the rug an elegant, atmospheric finish. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan modern interiors, the Emperor Styra Navy design balances bold colour with soft abstract structure, making it a stylish yet versatile focal point.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Deep Navy – Forming the darkest sections, adding depth, richness, and dramatic contrast.

• Steel Blue – Blended through mid-tones to enhance the layered marbled texture.

• Slate Grey – Creating grounding shadowed areas that introduce structure and definition.

• Dove Grey – Soft transitional tone that smooths contrasts and lightens the palette.

• Ivory – Used in highlight areas to brighten the design and soften overall flow.

• Pewter – A subtle metallic-leaning grey that enhances the reflective sheen and gives a sophisticated finish.

The Emperor 320 Styra EMP20 Navy Runner blends Deep Navy, Steel Blue, Slate Grey, Dove Grey, Ivory, and Pewter to create a cool, expressive, and contemporary palette enriched by its luxurious 12 mm hi-low textured pile and shimmering, light-reactive fibres. Durable, soft, and visually striking, it’s an ideal modern centrepiece for stylish living spaces seeking depth, texture, and refined character.

🧵 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.
