Description
This collection from Louis De Poortere represents the world below the surface, the darkness of the mineshaft with the lode of gold at the bottom, using a mix of straight and broken lines, of dull and shining yarns and smooth and ragged pencil strokes. Over a century of skill and craftsmanship is woven into every rug produced by Louis De Poortere and with cotton chenille and high gloss polyester yarns, this rug has multiple layers of texture. About your new rug We recommend. It prevents your rug from moving underfoot and protects against colour transfer to the floor Shedding is a natural characteristic of wool particularly on new rugs. This will reduce over time and will not affect your rug's performance. Vacuum clean regularly to reduce the shedding. When vacuuming your rug, use suction only. Rotating brushes may damage the fibres Blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub or use harsh detergents. Latex backed therefore not suitable for underfloor heating. Specialist cleaning recommended.
Our Stylist Says
I love this rug for its rich, industrial aesthetic which pairs particularly well with modern, loft-style interiors or even eclectic schemes. The deep, distressed tones of the cracks deep mine make it very versatile, especially in neutral or minimalist schemes where it can add warmth and texture without overwhelming the space. Practical styling tips include layering it under a sleek coffee table or in a seating area to highlight its character, and pairing it with metals or raw woods to enhance its raw edge. It works well in living rooms or home offices, especially where a touch of extra visual interest is desired, and it’s a great choice for those seeking a statement piece with a subtle, distressed charm.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
