Today we look a little at where this geometric pattern originated, followed by a dive into three of our own herringbone-patterned furnishing fabrics.
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.
FR-One’s fabric ranges include many patterns and design characteristics, of which herringbone is just one. From moiré to plaid, dimout to velvet, our inherently fire-retardant fabrics are ready for all applications and interior environments.
Here are three of our favourite fabrics in herringbone patterns.
A dim out perfect for any environment requiring privacy and a certain darkness. The collection is characterised by soft and easy-going shades in a natural and earthy colour spectrum. Its two matt designs combine style and functionality whilst its herringbone pattern will add a subtle lustre to any interior.
