Meditation Kanji Ginger Chocolate Round Rug

Kanji motif in warm red tones, with black ink strokes and calm balance.

Japanese calligraphy as a rug: the gesture of a brush across paper, ink finding its own path. Balanced, calm, and focused.

This design is also available as a rectangular rug and organically shaped rug.

Is the rug washable and suitable for outdoor use?

The rug can be machine-washed at 30 °C, and the colors remain vibrant for a long time. Small sizes fit into a home washing machine; it is best to wash large rugs in a commercial-sized machine. It looks just as good in the living room as it does on a patio, balcony, or in a conservatory, and it is suitable for underfloor heating. The back has 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. This allows it to lie flush under doors and furniture, pick up very little dust, and be folded for transport or storage. If you are looking for a thick, soft high-pile rug, this is not the right choice. In return, you get a clean, easy-care surface.

What is the rug made of?

The rug is made from 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?

When the rug has reached the end of its life, you scan the QR code on the back, and Louis De Poortere will collect it free of charge. 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.
