The earliest examples of the herringbone pattern can be seen in the intricate jewellery of the ancient Egyptian elite and in fabric originating in ancient Italy. In the Roman Empire, the herringbone pattern was used in road paving systems to create extremely durable and stable thoroughfares. It has become a popular and contemporary design that is used in building interiors for a unique and distinguished finish. There are four herringbone designs within the LVT Essential Collection, perfect for a vast range of creative briefs which includes Quartet, Ballerina, Twist and Bostonian Oak Beige. All the designs are available in Herringbone Dryback formats and selected references are also available in Herringbone Rigid Acoustic formats,
