Frequently Asked Questions

What creates the 3D texture in the Dakkar rug?

The relief effect comes from alternating pile heights rather than any applied finish or embossing. Areas of higher and lower pile interact to form the chain-like pattern, giving the surface genuine tactile depth.

Why combine wool and Tencel lyocell in a rug?

Wool provides durability, natural resilience, and warmth underfoot. Tencel lyocell, derived from wood pulp cellulose, adds a subtle sheen and a silky hand that wool alone cannot achieve, while remaining relatively easy to maintain.

Can Dakkar be ordered in a custom size or color?

Yes. Dakkar is a made-to-order rug and can be specified in custom dimensions, colorways, and quality grades, allowing it to be tailored to precise interior requirements.

Who is Evolution 21?

Evolution 21 is the design studio behind this collection for JOV, focused on developing rugs where pattern and construction technique are inseparable, so that the visual effect emerges directly from the physical structure of the textile.

How should a wool and Tencel lyocell rug be maintained?

Regular vacuuming without a beater bar is recommended to preserve the pile structure. For spills, blotting immediately with a clean cloth is advised. Professional cleaning is preferable for deeper care, particularly to protect the Tencel fibers from excess moisture or agitation.
