Geometric forms stack and interlock in patterns referencing Mesoamerican textile and architectural traditions. Figo interprets Aztec design vocabulary—angular stepped pyramids, zigzag motifs, stylized glyphs—through contemporary colour and simplified composition.
The pattern employs characteristic angular geometry: stepped forms echoing pyramid profiles, interlocking diagonal bands, rectangular frames containing internal pattern complexity. Traditional Aztec design emerged from codex illustration, stone carving, and textile weaving where symbolic meaning encoded in geometric arrangement. This wallpaper extracts visual vocabulary whilst removing specific iconographic content, creating decorative pattern from cultural aesthetic. Multiple colourways shift impact: vibrant combinations recall original pigments derived from cochineal and indigo, whilst black-and-white versions emphasize geometric structure over chromatic intensity. Scale reads bold, pattern elements substantial enough to register as distinct motifs.
Printed in Cornwall with precise registration maintaining the sharp angles and clean colour boundaries essential to geometric tribal patterns.
Figo suits interiors embracing global eclecticism or maximalist tendencies. The bold geometry works in feature wall applications—dining rooms, powder rooms, accent walls in living spaces—where pattern creates deliberate focal drama. Consider the cultural origins when deploying pattern derived from Indigenous American traditions; respectful application acknowledges aesthetic borrowing. Pairs with minimal furnishings allowing wall pattern to dominate, or layers within eclectic schemes comfortable with pattern density.
