Sakura is a new Ecorugs design from Louis De Poortere, inspired by Cherry Blossom and Japan's hanami parties during blossoming season.

Celebrating the timeless beauty of Japan's cherry trees in bloom, Sakura is inspired by cherry blossom, an intrinsic part of Japanese culture and the country's national flower. In Sakura, Louis De Poortere's design team has created a graphical representation of cherry blossom trees for a rug that has a delicate and poetic atmosphere. The floral motif evokes the new beginnings of spring and captures the beauty of the blossom that's become a symbol of Japanese culture.

9850 Lake Blue is a new addition to the Sakura collection, offering crystal azure tones that will work effortlessly with Spring/Summer 26 interior trends, while offering an aesthetic nod to the vibrancy and optimism of the blossom seasons. 9850 Lake Blue joins 9371 Copper Pink, 9372 Wet Garden and 9373 Morning Mist.

Alan Russell, sales director, says: “Sakura is a masterpiece in machine woven rugs, capturing the delicate and transitory nature of cherry blossom in a design that's permanent and timeless. Its range of linen-like textured colours has a wonderfully soft and organic quality that makes it appealing in interiors inspired by the natural world and that will complement and soften contemporary finishes like concrete and plaster.”

As an Ecorug, Sakura is also 100% recyclable through Louis De Poortere's Take Care Program. Once finished with their rug, owners can scan the QR code on the rug's label to arrange free collection and ensure that the rug is refurbished and reused or recycled back into a new Ecorug. Take Care is made possible by every Ecorug's 100% polyester construction, right down to the label and anti-slip backing.

Sakura is made with GRS certified 40% recycled PET.  Woven in Belgium, the hand-finished design is available in a range of standard sizes from 80cm x 150cm up to 280cm x 390cm, including a 140cm diameter circular rug.
