But Louis De Poortere's innate desire for innovation forces him to explore new horizons. He starts designing carpets with Oriental patterns which immediately enchant the British market. Year after year, Louis De Poortere carries on with his innovations: he diversifies his collections, explores new production techniques and multiplies his creations.
