Structures Berber Organic Rug

Minimalist rug inspired by the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco, in a warm desert yellow with a high-contrast design.

A modern interpretation of Beni Ourain rugs from Morocco. Striking, minimalist symbols and high contrast pay homage to a craft that is around 1,500 years old.

This design is also available as a rectangular rug and a round 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, while large rugs are best washed in a commercial-sized machine. It looks just as good in the living room as it does on a terrace, balcony, or in a conservatory, and is suitable for use with underfloor heating. The backing is slip-resistant. 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, keeps dust accumulation to a minimum, 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. 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 target of 100%. Because no mixed materials 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 R&D department in Mouscron.

What happens to the rug when it reaches the end of its life?

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