stripedplaidNew Zealand wool

For this signature design by John Pawson we have used a new material: the alpaca quality. To enhance the beauty of the Alpaca’s, we only worked with the natural tones. That means our colours are not dyed, they represent the many subtle tones of these beautiful creatures. The ultrasoft alpaca is used in loop, in the shape of tubes and squares and is surrounded by a ground base made out of Merino and New-Zealand wool. The thinking behind this collaboration between JOV and John Pawson was to produce a collection of tufted rugs with the structural appearance of woven rugs, through the specific application of pattern. The designs use repeating elements that, in conjunction with material choices, allow structural patterns to become the dominant partners to graphic patterns.
