Salsa
Made by JOV
Salsa is JOV's 100% mohair rug, a quality defined by its natural luminosity, saturated color absorption, and a surface that rewards touch. Mohair, sourced from the Angora goat, carries an inherent sheen that synthetic fibers cannot replicate, and in Salsa that quality is fully expressed: color reads with unusual depth, and light moves across the pile in ways that shift the character of a room throughout the day.
The rug functions as an architectural element as much as a decorative one. Its surface has presence, weight, and warmth, making it well suited to interiors where materiality is central to the spatial concept. Designers working with Salsa often specify it where a floor covering must hold its own alongside statement furniture or raw architectural finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes mohair different from wool in a rug?
Mohair fiber, taken from the Angora goat, has a smooth, scaled surface that reflects light in a way wool does not, producing a characteristic natural sheen and allowing dyes to achieve greater color saturation. This also makes mohair feel silkier underfoot, though it requires more careful maintenance than wool to retain its appearance.
How should a mohair rug like Salsa be cared for?
Frequent vacuuming with a suction-only attachment, avoiding beater bars, is the standard recommendation for mohair rugs. Professional cleaning is advised for stains, as mohair's fine fibers can be damaged by aggressive scrubbing or excessive moisture.
Can the Salsa rug be ordered in a custom size?
Yes, Salsa is available as a made-to-order product, with custom sizing and custom color development possible. Lead times will vary depending on specification, and it is best to inquire directly for project-specific requirements.
Is a mohair rug appropriate for high-traffic areas?
Mohair rugs are best suited to areas of moderate or low foot traffic, such as living rooms, bedrooms, or private studies. In high-traffic spaces, the pile can show wear and flattening more readily than harder-wearing fibers like wool or sisal.
What is JOV's design approach to architectural rugs?
JOV approaches rug design as a spatial discipline, treating pile, fiber, and color as tools for shaping atmosphere rather than surface decoration. Their collections are produced to perform alongside demanding architectural interiors, with construction quality intended to support both residential and contract applications.
