Fading World Medallion Grey Ebony Carpet

Classic medallion motif in soft grey and brown tones, with a distressed frame and faded pattern.

A classic medallion pattern, reinterpreted. The central medallion sits within an intentionally distressed frame, with colors that are deliberately faded. This creates a vintage look without the rug being old.

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 is compatible with underfloor heating. The back has an anti-slip coating. In high-traffic areas, we recommend using an additional anti-slip rug pad.

How thick is the rug?

It is only 3 mm thick. The rug is flat-woven like a kilim and has no pile. This allows it to lie flush under doors and furniture, collect less dust, and be folded for transport or storage. Those looking for a thick, soft high-pile rug will not find it here. In return, you get a clean, low-maintenance surface.

What is the rug made of?

The rug is made 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 its own development 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 service life, you scan the QR code on the back, and Louis De Poortere will collect it for free. Well-preserved rugs are resold, and 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.
