Jenny Jones is an Internationally Award Winning Rug Designer. Her luxurious handmade designs are exclusive to Jenny Jones Rugs and are regarded as “Art On The Floor”. All rugs are crafted by hand using the highest quality hand-spun wool and pure silk. As a dyslexic designer, Jenny has always been more of a visual storyteller. Growing up in the 60s, dyslexia wasn’t a recognised term, and there was little understanding or support for people who had it. Jenny learned through observation and imitation. She discovered her passion for rug making in 1995 while living in Turkey with her young family. Since then, Jenny has built her business on creating personal connections with clients to find the perfect rug for each project. Her contemporary works and modern-day classics reimagined traditional designs, bringing them into the 21st century with sophisticated colours. Nearly 30 years into her career, with collections in the US and Asia and numerous international awards, Jenny is recognised globally as one of the top contemporary rug designers, continuously pushing boundaries with stunning, bespoke designs.Visit Royal Oak Flooring at: https://royaloakfloors.com.au
