An endlessly versatile and beautifully timeless pattern, striped prints have been a popular design choice across a multitude of cultures and eras, with many iconic landmarks around the world reflecting their enduring popularity.
From the intricate stripe-like tilework of Moorish palaces like the Alhambra, to the striped silk wall hangings at the Palais of Versailles and the rich and refined stripes adorning the interior of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, all the way to more contemporary examples like Italian luxury fashion house Missoni who’s signature style features multicoloured, rhythmic stripes across all manner of textiles – the use of stripes permeates almost every aspect of design history.
