At the same time, we're committed to creating a positive legacy for future generations. Maison Forton does this by using: 100% recycled and recyclable yarn, biophilic designs inspired by nature's softness, local production in Belgium.

About me

  • Circular design lover who cannot stop talking about carpets? Check!

  • Loves to meet new people in Dutch/French/English/Spanish and even a bit of Chinese? Check!

  • Female business owner? Check!

I’m deeply passionate about carpets and circular design, with a strong commitment to driving positive change in the world of interior design.

In September 2022, I founded Maison Forton, where we’re preparing up to launch an exciting new collection that challenges the status quo and introduces innovative, sustainable carpet solutions to the market.

Our focus is on transforming the interiors of hotels and offices with environmentally conscious designs that don’t compromise on style or quality.

Before launching Maison Forton, I spent 7 years at McThree Carpets spending my time on the Scandinavian and Benelux market. So yes, my phone is mostly filled with carpet photos - but, of course, my two lovelty daughters are also popping up from time to time.
