Featuring Baobab and Trammel, Structures Collection by Louis de Poortere uses altered woven loop pile heights, yarn thickness and densities to create a deep relief effect. Bringing depth to the organic design in Baobab and the linear net-like formation of Trammel, the pronounced effect is distinct and apparent at every angle.
Baobab is the tree symbol of Senegal, which its inhabitants believe has magical powers. The spirits of ancestors are thought to live in the trunks of these gigantic trees and Louis de Poortere’s design is inspired by the bark. Baobab perpetuates the tree’s magical spirit across a palette of rich green, copper, blue, black, oyster, gold and beige. The rug also comes in a brand-new circle shape (240cm diameter).
Echoing the structure of a fishing net, Trammel’s distinct layers create volume as if filtering the sea and catching the eye. Tone on tone, Trammel’s timeless design is presented in expanses of blue, beige, white, black, gold and green. This style is also available in Louis de Poortere’s new circle shape, as well as a standard collection of rectangular styles.
Both Baobab and Trammel are made from polyester, for a shimmering quality that catches light to accentuate the depth of each structured design. An anti-slip latex backing comes as standard.
