Ikat textiles have always told a story through their colors, patterns and weaving of weaving since its foundation. These textiles have been a way since the trade routes of the Silk Road to communicate the beauty and uniqueness of different cultures, whereby everyone divides their own turn over different patterns and styles. The weaving of Ikats (named both according to the type of manufacture and the pattern) is a real love work: the construction of warp and shooting textiles – even more complicated, if both are integrated, which is called double IKAT – is a timely process in which several rounds of marking, dying and the determination of the looms are taken in this way.
What do we love about these latest publications by the legendary Ikat? Brands honor the traditional way of being made, but revived the color pallets with electrical colors (for example Jim Thompsons Newnantaburi and Pali). We also see that Ikat patterns are not traditionally alive, the focus on the reinterpretation of the pattern in printed velvet and cottons (Manuel Canovas' Kerala Velours and Gastón y Danielas Doga and in sticks (Zoffany's Ikat Stripe and Behl and Behly Stripe Stripe and Behly) Treating designs Ikat (Zoffany's embroidered Ikat-Stripe and Treatment Designs Ikat) come to life again.
Jaunty Stripes
The animated Zigs and Zags on the Slubby silk layer of a chair (Jim Thompson) are inspired by the labeling of a Buddhist manuscript. The Carnivalesque design of the curtains (Manuel Canovas) has re -introduced an archive Louis XVI IKAT on subtly glazed linen.
Oversized old motifs
In a rich pattern that drapes the table, Vervain revives the mighty forms of ceremonial masks – and the cubist, fauvist and expressionist images that strongly encountered their influence.
Revolutionary flowers
In his exuberant pattern of L'Orangerie, Pierre Frey repeats the silk distortion protocol, which the French makers have adjusted in the second half of the 18th century. Today it appears as a multi -colored Ikat bouquets that are as blurred as if it were materialized from a summer dream.
Crazy climbing vines
Although a playful film for more traditional motifs, Brunschwig & Fils' stylized botanical pattern is produced as a real warp -SKT, so that the design appears identical on both sides – ideal for beds such as this, where it becomes an imaginative pergola, blooming with color.
