Frequently Asked Questions

What fibers are used in the JOV Triad rug?

The Triad is handtufted using New Zealand wool as the primary structural fiber, with Tencel lyocell woven in to introduce a glossy, high-sheen contrast. The combination produces a surface that reads as both warm and polished.

Can the Triad be ordered in a custom size?

Yes. The Triad is made to order and is available in custom dimensions and colorways, allowing it to be specified precisely for a given architectural or interior context.

What is Tencel lyocell and why is it used in rugs?

Tencel lyocell is a cellulose-based fiber derived from sustainably sourced wood pulp. In textile applications, it contributes a natural sheen and smooth hand, making it a refined alternative to synthetic pile fibers when high visual definition is the goal.

What design period or aesthetic does the Triad reference?

The Triad draws from the ornamental language of Art Deco, specifically the chain link and repeating geometric motifs found in jewelry and decorative metalwork of that period. The pattern retains that graphic discipline while adapting it to a handcrafted textile format.

How should a handtufted wool and Tencel rug be maintained?

Handtufted rugs benefit from regular rotation to ensure even wear and periodic professional cleaning. Wool is naturally resilient, while Tencel lyocell fibers are sensitive to prolonged moisture, so prompt attention to spills is advised.
