What happens when you crack open a 140-year-old vault? If it’s anything like the archive at British heritage textile house GP&J Baker, expect a treasure trove of ikat – and a ton of untapped potential. Thanks to a new collaboration with lighting brand Pooky, those long-forgotten patterns are being cast in a whole new light, reinterpreted through a lens of 21st-century whimsy.
At the center of the Archive Discoveries Collection is Bokhara Ikat – a large-scale motif that has resided in GP&J Baker’s archive since the early 1900s. Now rendered on 100% linen drum shades, its lighting trend rebirth reads less like a pattern, and more like a watercolor – just one of the many artful, textile-first details you'll find throughout the lineup.
