Ikat is the most versatile print. The black and white chairs really caught my attention. And I like looking at the fabrics laid out, before they're made into anything- oh the possibilities!
Great collection of photos... but some of them don't look at all like ikat. A couple just look like arabesque prints... I dunno. I'm a stickler right no cause I'm studying textiles and asian and Islamic art history. Ikat has been everywhere. Speaking of... a gorgeous online exhibit of ikat kimonos from the early 20th century is up on Marcuson and Hall's website. I saw some in person several weeks ago and they were incredible.
Too funny. Just the other day I looked at this big heavy formal (inherited) chair in my living room and thought "A blue and white ikat would really spruce that up!" CCInteriors beat me to it!

Sorry, I meant to say "Ikat is the most versatile fabric"- realizing it's not actually a print! :)

it took me a little while to get into ikat. i think it was the upward trend that turned me off...what the hell was i thinking?! it's my favorite now.
