Atlantic Venetian Dust Padua Beige Carpet

Inspired by the mature elegance of Venice, in soft beige and grey with ashen nuances.

Inspired by the facades of Venice: golden patina, ashen tones, and the traces of many centuries. A rug with depth that is understated rather than loud.

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 an industrial-sized machine. It looks just as good in the living room as it does on a patio, balcony, or in a conservatory and is suitable for underfloor heating. The reverse side has an anti-slip coating. In high-traffic areas, we recommend 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 means 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 the one for you. Instead, you get a clean, low-maintenance surface.

What is the rug made of?

The rug is made of a single material: polyester, of which 70% 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 blends are used, the rug can be fully recycled at the end of its life. The weaving technique was developed and patented by Louis De Poortere in their own research and 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 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.
