Louis De Poortere: Flatweave Rug "Medallion" – Stone (Stone Grey)

A sculptural and magnetic textile interpretation that blends the classic memory of the medallion with the contemporary aesthetic of salvage and mineral materials. The Medallion Rug – Stone Grey by Louis De Poortere (usable as a vintage-inspired stone grey flatweave rug, flatweave rug with a faded central medallion, textile furnishing accessory for living rooms, bedrooms, and studies, or statement piece for Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, and Industrial-Chic interiors) encapsulates a century of Belgian textile tradition in a surface of refined materiality.

Walking barefoot on its flatweave (flat weave) texture provides a pleasantly warm and structured sensation: a dense and compact weave made on historic Jacquard Wilton looms with cotton, polyester, and wool chenille yarns. The richness of the materials gives a soft-to-the-touch and visually dynamic texture, capable of evoking the polished surface of stone and the patina of time. The design reinterprets the iconic medallion by artfully fading it and deliberately blurring some sections of the pattern (distressed effect), creating a harmonious transition between past and present. The "Stone" palette offers a refined scale of natural greys, smoky tones, and mineral shades that instill stability, calm, and architectural elegance. Made in Belgium by Louis De Poortere, this rug pairs beautifully with natural oak or resin flooring, textured fabric sofas, minimalist furnishings, and raw iron or ceramic details, fitting naturally into japandi, wabi-sabi, quiet luxury, industrial-chic, and warm-minimalism settings.
