Craft Marble Kanell Rug

Pebble motif in warm orange and red tones, with semi-transparent, overlapping shapes.

The pattern is reminiscent of an X-ray of pebbles. Semi-transparent shapes overlap and appear to float above the background, giving the design a light and airy feel.

Is the rug washable and suitable for outdoor use?

The rug can be machine-washed at 30°C, and the colors will remain vibrant for a long time. Small sizes fit in a home washing machine, while large rugs are best washed in a commercial-sized machine. It is just as suitable for the living room as it is for the patio, balcony, or conservatory, and it is compatible with underfloor heating. The reverse side features a non-slip coating. In high-traffic areas, we recommend using an additional anti-slip underlay.

How thick is the rug?

It is only 3 mm thick. The rug is flat-woven like a kilim and has no pile. As a result, it lies flush under doors and furniture, collects little dust, and can be folded for transport or storage. If you are looking for a thick, soft high-pile rug, this is not it. In return, you get a clean, low-maintenance surface.

What is the rug made of?

The rug consists of a single material: polyester, 70% of which is recycled PET (rPET). The recycled content increases every year (20% in 2023, 40% in 2025, 70% in 2026), with a goal of 100%. Because no material mix is used, the rug can be fully recycled at the end of its life. Louis De Poortere developed and patented the weaving technique in their own R&D department in Mouscron.

What happens to the rug when it has reached the end of its life?

Once the rug has reached the end of its life, you can scan the QR code on the back and Louis De Poortere will collect it free of charge. Well-preserved rugs are resold, while all others are processed into new polyester yarn.

Who manufactures the rug?

Louis De Poortere is a fourth-generation Belgian family business that has been weaving rugs since 1929. Every rug is created in their own production facility in Belgium.
