Description
Inspired by the vibrant energy of 1960s New York, the Griff design captures the dynamic fusion of Madison Avenue’s advertising revolution and the era’s cultural upheavals. With its mix of sharp lines and distressed textures, this collection evokes the clash of optimism and disruption—reflecting the boldness of movements like Women’s Liberation, Vietnam protests, and May ’68. Influenced by action painting, Griff is a visual tribute to creativity and change, blending the smooth with the raw in every thread. This beautiful and versatile abstract design has a unique combination of neutral and subdued hues. The uneven mélange of colours and its unique texture makes this rug perfect for any modern and contemporary setting. All Louis de Poortere rugs are crafted to be 100% recyclable.

Our Stylist Says
I really like this rug’s versatile, vintage-inspired look; it works particularly well in contemporary or industrial interiors, adding texture without overwhelming the space. Its neutral tones make it easy to pair with a variety of colour schemes and furniture styles, while the abstract, distressed finish creates a relaxed, lived-in feel. For styling tips, consider layering with other textiles like throws or cushions to add warmth, and keep furniture simple and sleek to let the rug be the statement piece. It’s also a practical pick - the pattern helps disguise minor stains or wear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas or households with children.

About John Lewis
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.
