Since this Seattle interior designer started designing, I have always turned to the Ikat to add interest, history and pattern to my interior design projects.

Eric Cohler for Lee Jofa

The chic Ikat fabric (pronounced ee-cat) was all over the runways this year and fashioned its way into our homes. Ikat, a symbol of prosperity, is a style of weaving that uses a dyeing process before threads are woven to create a pattern. Ikat is a near universal weaving style common to many world cultures. Likely, it is one of the oldest forms of textile decoration. (Wikipedia)

Houzz delivered an excellent photo collection seen in this link and combined with an explanation of the dyeing process.
