The Uzbek Collection derives its name from the country of Uzbekistan in Central Asia where most of the original Ikat fabrics were made in the nineteenth century. I have always had a passion for Ikats due to their bold, daring, abstract designs and vibrant colors. Over the past few years, I have watched an Ikat craze spread throughout the design community however, the majority of designs offerings are muted colors in repetitive designs. In the Uzbek collection, I take the true elements and original bold colors of the designs scaling them for rugs.
