ellipse collection: element 2
The Ellipse Rug Collection was created in collaboration with Armadillo and guided by House of Grey’s symbiotic principle of using natural materials that are good for human health throughout their use and actively feed the earth upon disposal. At House of Grey, we call this: Circular Salutogenic Design.
The House of Grey x Armadillo Ellipse rug collection creates a sensory experience that draws us back to nature. Designed with the moon as its muse, we pay homage to its quiet beauty and multitude of textures on its surface.
From raw jute, to wools, to the luxurious silk & wool mix, each ethically sourced natural material is Declare* labelled and has been selected for its individual properties to create a distinct sensory experience underfoot.
Working with the positive human connection to natural materials, these rugs become more than an object to walk on but one to be used for the foundation of your daily life, meditation practice, and personal reflection time. The Ellipse sensory rug collection is created using Circular Salutogenic Design principles, in-line with our studio ethos of making positive choices about the everyday objects and pieces you live with.
Purchase well, Purchase once – investing in timeless classics that get better with age and last a lifetime.

To celebrate the launch of the Ellipse collection we are excited to preview “ The Rhythm of Nature”.
The “Rhythm of Nature” is an exploratory journey through an art installation of multiple terrains, immersing the viewer in an interior of natural beauty – a sensory showcase that encourages quiet exploration and reflective introspection through raw, organic elements.
Each of the five rugs in the collection – Etoile, Terra, Palus, Umbra and Perilune – is elevated to a work of art, surrounded by soft slopes of sand, mounds of grass and soil, ethereal florals suspended from the ceiling, an unbridled field of grasses and a luminous pool of water. The journey draws you back to connecting with nature.
The cinematic film, shot by award-winning Australian director Glendyn Ivin, captures the moving landscape and tactile presence of the collection in such a way that the viewer feels as if they are experiencing it first-hand.
Accompanied by a soothing soundtrack, the experience is intended to steady the beat of day-to-day life in tune with the rhythm of nature and impart the viewer with a sense of calm as they return to the outside world.
