Pop Koi Japanese Pond Rug

Rug inspired by a Japanese koi pond, in shades of blue with rippling water surfaces and gliding koi motifs.

A Japanese koi pond: gliding fish, gentle ripples, and reflections on the water. A rug that brings tranquility to any room.

This design is also available as a round rug.

Is the rug washable and suitable for outdoor use?

The rug is machine washable at 30 °C, and the colors 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 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, accumulate less dust, and 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 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. 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 served its purpose, you 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.
