Woven paintings, Textile compositions
The Gallery Collection by Louis De Poortere challenges the boundaries between textile design and fine art. These rugs are not merely floor coverings — they are woven paintings, textile compositions that can be used both on the floor and on the wall. With their striking visual language, they function equally well as tapestries, transforming a vertical surface into a curated statement.
Modern textile art
Floor Piece or Wall Piece: A Dual Function
The finesse of traditional weaving techniques and the sensibility of contemporary abstract art
Woven Expressionism
These designs are filled with gestural energy: brushstroke-like marks, smudges, and layered tones that seem almost spontaneous — yet are precisely translated into weave and fiber. The result is a dynamic surface that echoes the vocabulary of abstract expressionism, but expressed in a medium that is tactile, warm, and enduring.
The materiality of the weave adds depth and structure, reinforcing the collection’s ability to serve as both functional rugand visual centerpiece.

In Essence
The Gallery Collection transforms the rug into a multidimensional artwork — equally suited for the floor and the wall. Whether underfoot or hanging in full view, each piece is a textile canvas, a bold artistic statement that bridges the worlds of interior design and fine art.
In this collection, the rug becomes the artwork — and the room becomes the gallery.
