Most times, interiors fabrics and colors follow fashion. But on this occasion fashion has followed a timeless interior fabric. Ikat is a production that was found in India and South-East Asia.
Patola cloth, a double ikat from
Gujarat, western India, used to be exported to Indonesia for the use of the royal families. As early as the fifteenth century Gujarati merchants brought patola to Indonesian rulers, an activity taken over by the Dutch at the beginning of the seventeenth century to gain concessions in the spice trade.
Since then this type of fabric has been used in interior fabrics. I personally have used it in various hospitality and some residential applications. It is a fabric has offers a very relaxed feel to a space while introducing color and sophiscation.
