Ellissi Rug
Made by Paola Lenti
The Ellissi is a study in controlled geometry. CRS Paola Lenti's design studio assembled it from hand-shaped and hand-sewn cord modules, each formed into round or oval units that connect freely across the floor plane. Gaps between modules reveal the surface beneath, giving the composition a lightness that flat-woven rugs cannot achieve.
Made entirely from 100% polyolefin rope cord, Ellissi is engineered to perform outdoors without conceding anything to its indoor counterparts. The material resists moisture, UV exposure, and wear while retaining the soft, tactile presence of a woven textile.

Paola Lenti has long approached outdoor living as an extension of interior culture, not a compromise with it. Ellissi carries that philosophy into a rug format, where color, craft, and modular logic converge into a piece that reads differently depending on the palette chosen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ellissi Rug suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The Ellissi is constructed from 100% polyolefin rope cord, a material selected for its resistance to moisture, UV rays, and outdoor conditions. It performs equally well in covered or open-air exterior spaces and in interior settings.
How many colors can I specify for the Ellissi?
The Ellissi can be configured in one, two, or up to four colors. The color selection applies across the individual cord modules, allowing for tonal restraint or more graphic contrast depending on the palette chosen.
What is polyolefin rope cord and why does Paola Lenti use it?
Polyolefin is a synthetic fiber known for its durability, colorfastness, and resistance to water and mildew. Paola Lenti uses it across many of their outdoor textile products because it allows the brand to maintain refined color ranges and tactile quality in environments where natural fibers would degrade.
How is the Ellissi Rug maintained?
The rug can be maintained with regular vacuuming using a brush-free attachment. The polyolefin cord construction makes it resistant to staining and simple to clean, which suits both residential and hospitality applications.
