TESTING & PERFORMANCE:
ABRASION: Wyzenbeek – 51,000 Double Rubs / Heavy Duty

NOTES:
A true ikat (e-kot) is a dyeing and weaving craft originated in Asia centuries ago. The highly specialize technique combines geometric calculations, multiple hand dyeing processes and influences from nature to create the characteristic blurred motifs in rich variegated colors.

Joseph Noble’s newest fabric Nirvana evokes the aesthetic of the ancient artisan technique using modern materials for today’s interiors market. It recreates the ikat effect using a two color high performance nylon warp combined with the natural feel and appearance of linen and cotton. The hand designed and detailed weave structures are built to simulate hand crafted textiles, but are then woven on a high-speed jacquard looms.

The result is a beautiful organic look with high performance characteristics.
Nirvana when tested for abrasion shows no appreciable breakage or wear at 51,000 double rubs Wyzenbeek.

According to Gautama Budda, “The destruction of greed, hatred and delusion is Nirvana. Nirvana is the highest happiness.”
Our color names come from the eightfold attributes of Nirvana itself: Nirodha (Cessation), Subha (loveliness/wholesomeness), Satya (Truth), Tattva (Reality), Nitya (eternity), Sukha (bliss), Atman (the Self), and Parisuddhi (complete purity).
