Meditation Kanji Slate Round Rug

Calligraphic gesture on the floor, in warm beige with gray ink strokes and quiet balance.

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

This design is also available as a rectangular rug and an organic-shaped rug.

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; it is best to wash large rugs in a large-capacity machine. It is just as suitable for the living room as it is for a patio, balcony, or conservatory and is compatible with 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, prevents it from collecting much dust, and makes it easy to fold for transport or storage. If you are looking for a thick, soft high-pile rug, this is not the one for you. Instead, you get a clean, low-maintenance 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 the goal being 100%. Because no material blends are used, the rug is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Louis De Poortere developed and patented this 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 service life, you can scan the QR code on the back, and Louis De Poortere will pick it up 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.
