The Ikat small plate features a digitally printed yellow, red, black and white ikat-inspired pattern on dishwasher-safe ceramic. Its surface design replicates the characteristic fuzziness of traditional ikat textiles, a quality rooted in the complexity of aligning dyed yarns during hand-weaving. The ceramic construction keeps the piece practical for everyday use while retaining the visual depth of the pattern. It can be paired with other patterns and colourways from the same collection for a varied table arrangement.
Created by Bertrando Di Renzo, the 'Les Ottomans' home collection was born from the designer's love for Turkey, brought to life via colourful digital ikat prints on ceramic plates. Despite the digital production of its surface decoration, the small 'Ikat' plate features a key characteristic of ikat textiles — a fuzziness to the design, here a yellow, red, black and white pattern, which can be brought back to the extreme difficulty weavers have when lining up the dyed yarns to create pattern on traditional ikat textiles. Utilised all over the world in countries and continents that include India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Japan, Africa and Latin America, the original technique takes on a new life when applied to this dishwasher safe ceramic plate, which may be paired with other patterns and colourways from the same collection for a kaleidoscopic table display.
