Kravet Fabrics - ...Browsing by tag

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!

Recolor selections for existing pattern

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.

Classic suzani to be updated

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.

As this Seattle interior designer creates a master bedroom concept, I am imagining a canopy or almost canopy bed. With ceiling height at 12′, a sense of cozy comfort calls. With a view of the Puget Sound from the 35 floor, the outdoor drama is provided with lots of windows.

Quickly my client selected two favorite fabrics as a starting point for soft coverings. Both from Kravet.

Albert Hadley from House Beautiful

I like this concept from a feature in House Beautiful by Albert Hadley in the April 2009 issue. But most likely, side panels rather than a full canopy will be sufficient. A mix of solids and complementary prints to be selected. But I can’t forget the charming, small chair from my client in a yellow and blue stripe.

Client's Petite Boudoir Chair

This composition of a master bedroom design concept combines some family sentiment, lovely colors and patterns, a cozy, comfortable bed and a million dollar view.

Heading to the High Point Furniture Spring Market and as you read this I am sourcing new products and sources. More on what I saw and heard soon.

Thibaut fabric

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.
