Today we look a little at where this geometric pattern originated, followed by a dive into three of our own herringbone-patterned furnishing fabrics.
First: what is herringbone pattern? Where does it come from?
Herringbone consists of an arrangement of rectangles in an angular geometric pattern, named after its resemblance to the crosshatch skeleton structures of herring fish. The earliest herringbone patterns can be seen throughout the ancient world, from the complex jewellery of A
ncient Egypt to the endless paved roads of the Roman Empire.
