Mesmerizing Zigzags: Exploring the Herringbone Pattern in Architecture

Created by a series of angled parallel lines that form a mesmerizing zigzag, the herringbone pattern has withstood the test of time and remains present in diverse design styles. Named after the resemblance to a fish's bones –a herring, for instance–, this classic V-shaped pattern arranges rectangular blocks in different proportions. With varying block edge length ratios, such as 2:1 or sometimes 3:1, the versatile design adapts to a wide range of uses, dimensions and materials.
