Abstract


One of the most important features in Central Asia was the Silk Road, which connected China and Europe through Central Asia. Cultural exchanges were made through this network of paths. Religion, technology, textiles, most notably silk, spread from China to the Western world. Central Asia, on which the Silk Road passed, was also greatly affected by the Silk Road. Religion and certain textile weaving skills were transferred. Not only merchants, but also raiders and conquerors followed this path, making Central Asia rather turbulent. This active cultural exchange through the Silk Road enabled Central Asian culture to be culturally diverse, thus making its textiles colorful and intricate in pattern.
In eighth century due to the spread of Islam in the Central Asian countries and its influence by the values of Islamic Art that prohibits the use of human elements and limits the use of animal and birds elements which has had the greatest impact on the spread of the vegetal elements and innovate artistic treatments for them. According to that, the research will investigate Central Asia's textiles history and then introduce an artistic analytical study to compare the vegetal elements in the Central Asian textiles (Suzani-Ikat). After that, the research will attempt to mix between those techniques to create contemporary upholstery designs that carry the originality of Central Asia's textiles.


Author Keywords: Central Asia, Suzani, Ikat, Vegetal elements.
