The rise of the zebra print
“Over the years, we have dominated Leopard print as an animal pressure of choice both in fashion and interior,” says Kellie Wyles, head of the padding at DFS. “But this season a new pattern has attracted the attention of the design world, and the zebra printing now rules sleep.”
If we imagine the classic zebradruck, monochrome designs often come to mind.
