A trend for using ethnic and tribal inspired fabrics in fashion has made the crossover into interiors; ikats in particular have emerged as a favourite. Earlier in the year we released Bukhara and Tajik, two ikats which have been very well received.

Angelina (NSW sales) emailed this image to me yesterday...

It features a striking slat sofa which has a Bukhara seat squab and Tajik & Bukhara cushions. It's from Hunter Valley Design who have a stunning showroom in Newcastle which is well worth checking out. The piece above is a great combination of current trends, with its organic shape and ethnic fabric.
