Anke
Made by JOV
Anke is a study in material restraint. JOV constructs this handcrafted rug from a considered blend of 60% New Zealand wool and 40% mohair, two fibers whose characters sit in productive tension: the wool contributes a matte, grounded resilience, while the mohair introduces a refined, almost imperceptible sheen. The result is a surface that holds warmth without weight, softness without sentimentality.
JOV approaches rug-making as an architectural discipline. Each piece is designed to function as a composed, load-bearing element within an interior, one that anchors a room rather than decorates it. Anke carries that sensibility clearly. Its texture reads differently across light and angle, shifting from quiet to subtly luminous, giving a space a living quality without visual excess.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fiber composition of the JOV Anke rug?
Anke is made from 60% New Zealand wool and 40% mohair. New Zealand wool provides durability and a matte ground, while the mohair contributes a subtle luster and additional softness to the pile surface.
Is the JOV Anke rug available in custom sizes?
Yes, Anke is made to order and can be produced in custom dimensions. Custom color development is also available, making it well suited to bespoke residential and commercial projects.
How does mohair affect the appearance and feel of a wool rug?
Mohair is a protein fiber derived from the Angora goat, known for its natural sheen, strength, and silky hand. When blended with wool, it introduces a quiet luminosity to the pile without disrupting the overall matte character, and it contributes to the rug's durability and resistance to crushing.
Is the JOV Anke suitable for commercial or high-traffic interiors?
New Zealand wool is prized for its resilience and its ability to recover from compression, and mohair adds further tensile strength to the blend. Anke is well suited to architecturally demanding environments, though specific performance requirements should be confirmed for high-traffic commercial applications.
Who is JOV and what is their approach to rug design?
JOV is a rug atelier that treats the rug as an architectural object rather than a decorative accessory. Their work prioritizes material specificity, tonal restraint, and handcraft, producing pieces designed to function as foundational elements within considered interiors.
