Textile Junkie Thanks Kravet Fabrics for Day 3 of Blogfest 2011

Written by faith | 0

What a treat! Blogfest 2011 courtesy of Kravet Fabrics surpassed all expectations. This Seattle interior designer has so much to share but I begin with my favorite day and activity, a tour of the company offices and a peek into the fabric divisions. But first, let me say, that I am a textile lover, fanatic, junkie (if you will). Spending time with the artisans working at the headquarters was a total high. Thank you Kravet!

In past blog posts, I talk about Ikat designs and my penchant to include them in my design concepts. They are timeless, enough said. See previous posts, here and here.

After the Ikat, I love the Suzani and the long history of this textile which I have also blogged about in past blog posts.

This particular morning invigorated my design juices and passion for design. Some day soon I hope I can return and spend time again with the smart, savvy, friendly artisans who keep Kravet Fabrics at the forefront of the interior design industry. Thank you Kravet so very much.

Ikat Fabric Symbolizes Prosperity

Written by faith | 1

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.

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.
