Louis De Poortere: Designer Flatweave Rugs
Centuries-old Belgian weaving excellence meets the philosophy of contemporary living. The Louis De Poortere Rug Collection for Sumi Design (comprising flatweave rugs for living rooms, bedrooms and studies, eco-friendly rugs made from sustainable polyester, interior design solutions for Japandi, Wabi-Sabi and Warm Minimalism, and avant-garde and biophilic-inspired textiles) is designed for those seeking the perfect union of historical heritage, sustainable spirit and refined tactile comfort.
Every rug in the collection is made in the heart of Belgium, home to a textile tradition unlike any other in the world. Featuring the renowned flatweave construction, Louis De Poortere rugs have a slim, compact, pile-free profile, ensuring exceptional stability, easy maintenance and natural compatibility with underfloor heating systems. Walking barefoot on a Louis De Poortere rug is an immersive sensory experience: the dense, textured weave welcomes every step, instantly evoking a sense of balance, warmth and protection. From Bauhaus and Cubist-inspired geometries to flowing botanical and aquatic motifs, the Sakura, Dedalo, Papercut, Swim and Lucia collections enrich spaces with an irresistibly charming, lived-in vintage patina. They pair beautifully with solid wood or resin flooring, bouclé or leather sofas, walnut, oak or teak furniture and matte ceramic or brass details, blending seamlessly into Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, quiet luxury, Scandi-Modern and Mid-Century interiors.
