The exhilarating design of repeated arches gives a nod to Rome’s Colosseo Quadrato, itself a homage to the Colosseum and now headquarters of fashion brand Fendi.

A bold, decorative reinterpretation of the cobblestones along the Appian Way, the famous ancient carriageway and landmark of the Roman Empire.

Delicate flecks suggest the patterning of fine-chip terrazzo, which features throughout the Mediterranean in colourful constellations of stone.

Its classic lines recall the ceiling treatment of the monumental gateways to the Parthenon in Athens, a salute to the power of ancient Greek architecture.

A celebration of the visual fluidity of marble, a material synonymous with luxury, its graceful patterning captures the beauty of the stone’s veining.

This stunning abstract motif with its shadow-like effect evokes Greek and Roman architectural references such as colonnades, lintels, fluting and steps.

The dazzling effect of stucco and Venetian plaster on stone walls is reinterpreted through the exquisite medium of wallpaper for a soft tonality and finish.
