WHAT’S NEW?
THE CRAFT COLLECTION: WHERE ART MEETS RUG CRAFT
The Craft Collection from Louis De Poortere is where artistic interpretation meets rug craftmanship for a series of bold and expressive Ecorugs designs.
Introduced in 2025, Louis De Poortere’s Craft Collection stood out for its vibrant Ribbon and Chess designs, capturing the confident energy of free-flowing calligraphy and the daring graphic deconstruction of classic checkerboard. For 2026, Louis De Poortere has expanded the series with three new designs that continue the same artistic sentiment.
A step between serenity and playful geometry, Zen Garden captures the stillness and asymmetry of kare-sansui as if living in a tetris world. A palette of uplifting and fresh colourways create a rug that’s both soothing and surprising. Zen Garden is available in the tones of Pomelo, Scots Pine, Grenadine and Dryed Banana and comes in five sizes.
For Brush, Louis De Poortere has sought inspiration from the expressiveness of contemporary art. Bold lines mimic the force of broad brushstrokes on canvas, combining minimalism and movement for a spontaneous design that energises any room. Delightful tonal nuances echo
