A brief history of ‘that’ Red Zebra Wallpaper #ArtTuesday
Short and fun read about the history of the now classic Zebras from Architectural Digest:
When Gino Circiello, Guy Avventuriero, and Emilio Torre opened Gino of Capri, an Italian restaurant on New York City’s Lexington Avenue, in 1945, Circiello asked his friend Valentino Crescenzi to design something dashing for the walls. The results: 314 leaping zebras set against spaghetti-sauce red.
