The exotic Ikat print and motif derives from the weaving and dyeing technique used to pattern textiles, the resist dyeing process being similar to that of tie-dye. Patterns created in Ikat sometimes incorporate recognisable day to day or symbolic objects, whilst some appear warped and resemble animal prints or can be completely abstract.
The repetition of shapes and the intertwining of styles with bright bold colour, create fresh, primitive geometric patterns for fashion, interiors and homeware items. The shapes are often extracted, spaced and simplified for interiors. Whilst mixing with animal prints, geometrics and florals brings a fresh new look to an ancient craft in homeware and fashion.
