What is ikat upholstery?
1 Answer
Ikat is a complicated design that’s dyed into any type of fabric, including upholstery, to create a certain look. Ikat originated in Indonesia and uses a resist-dyeing technique on the yards prior to weaving the fabric. This finished product is often elaborate designs and patterns that have a hazy or fuzzy appearance rather than a crisp printed line.
