A moment of pause.
Jensin Okunishi Studio aims to bridge traditional techniques and contemporary design with a focus on craftsmanship and quality. Time-honored traditions meet modern pattern play in a handmade rug that can last a lifetime. Our rugs are crafted using the Tibetan knotting technique, which is the only woven rug technique that makes use of a metal shaft to create the pile. Originally, these skills were used to make prayer rugs, and though they are no longer in demand, we believe that they should not be forgotten. We strive to create rugs that are not only beautiful but also enduring.
JOS designs seek to refocus one's attention inwards using the immersive quality of color. Each design begins with a detailed gouache sketch that is then transformed by master weavers in Nepal. Once a design is complete, it is color matched using industry standard wool poms and translated into a weaving plan. Our Himalayan wool is sourced, spun, and hand dyed in Nepal by some of the most expert artisans. Once weaving is complete and the rug is taken off the loom, and finishing techniques such as carving and washing will be done by hand as well. Because JOS rugs are entirely handmade they can be crafted to your exact specifications. The complete process can take 3 to 4 months depmeding on the size of your rug.
