Some Things Never Go Out of Style! The simple yet visually stimulating Herringbone pattern has been in use architecturally for over 2,000 years! The Romans made a fascinating discovery - if the bricks used for roads were laid in a zig-zag pattern and the points faced in the direction of traffic, this made for the most durable road configuration. Italian craftsmen later brought this pattern concept to France and a star was born. The wonderful Herringbone pattern was adapted into everything, from fabric to wood plank floors. Imagine how such a pattern could stand the test of time, retaining popularity from ancient times, and still be chic today. This pattern had literally never gone out of style. We always stress to our design clients - utilizing updated classics in your projects, allows them to always stay relevant. Adapting this pattern into more unusual and luxurious natural materials such as Marble, Basalt, Onyx and Limestone allows for you to have the perfect selection of color!
