Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in the JOV Rainbow rug?

Rainbow is woven in a blend of wool silk and New Zealand wool using the Classlines 28/18 construction. This combination produces a surface with a warm, soft hand and a natural sheen that responds well to changes in light.

Can the Rainbow rug be ordered in a custom size?

Yes. Rainbow is available as a made-to-order piece with custom sizing and colorway options. JOV treats each rug as a bespoke commission, so proportions and color intensity can be tailored to a specific space.

What is a degradée rug?

Degradée refers to a gradient weaving technique in which color transitions gradually across the surface of the rug, shifting in hue or saturation from one end to the other. The effect can range from nearly imperceptible to boldly chromatic depending on the chosen palette.

What is Classlines construction in hand-knotted rugs?

Classlines is a weaving specification that defines knot density and pile structure. The 28/18 designation indicates the knot count per linear unit, which determines the rug's ability to render fine detail and the overall texture of the finished surface.

How does JOV approach color customization for Rainbow?

JOV works with clients and designers to develop custom colorways, adjusting gradient range, intensity, and directional emphasis. This process is typically handled through direct consultation to ensure the final composition suits the specific architectural context.
