Capture the unique atmosphere of the world’s most famous cities with new Ecorugs from Louis De Poortere.

Inspired by the aerial topography of the world’s most famous cities, Louis De Poortere’s designers have created the Cities collection, a series of five designs in the Ecorugs collection of recyclable rugs. In Conductive Blue, Gatsby Gold, Green Meadows, Space Trip and Orange Cut, homes can echo the vibrant cultures and unique sense of place that make the cities of Tokyo, New York, London, Paris and Amsterdam top global destinations. Each rug brings the atmosphere of an old map, faintly charting the flow of rivers and urbanisation in beautiful colour-rich patterns. 

As part of Louis De Poortere Ecorugs range, Cities rugs are 100% recyclable. Simply by scanning the QR code on the rug’s label, owners can arrange for the free return of their rug through the Take Care Program when it’s no longer wanted. Louis De Poortere will take it back and turn it into new yarn, ready to be woven into a new Ecorug. Thanks to its 100% polyester construction, every part of the rug is recycled with nothing sent to waste.

Alan Russell, sales director, Louis De Poortere, says: “With our Ecorugs collection, including the brand-new Cities designs, we’re giving our customers a better way to enjoy the comfort and style of a beautiful rug in their home. The 100% recyclable Ecorug construction makes recycling possible while the Take Care Program makes it a reality. Through Take Care, owners play an active part in the story of their rug and we know that we can live up to our promise of recyclable rugs.”

The Cities collection uses a flatweave construction and is finished by hand at the Louis De Poortere mill in Belgium. Available in a range of standard sizes, including circular, all rugs are made with 20% recycled polyester and feature an anti-slip backing. Louis De Poortere has set a target to produce the first Ecorugs made from 100% recycled polyester in 2025 – then the collection will be a circular product. Until then, it will gradually increase the amount of recycled polyester material used.
