- Greek Key Pattern - The Greek key pattern is a decorative design that consists of continuous interlocking vertical and right-angled lines that form a repeating motif. It is also known as "Meander" or "Greek fret." The pattern is thought to have originated in ancient Greece, where it was used in various decorative arts, such as pottery, metalwork, and architectural elements. The Greek key design is widely used in a variety of contexts, including classical architecture, decorative arts, furniture, interior design and textiles. The pattern is considered timeless and classic, and its geometric simplicity makes it a popular choice for designers in many different fields.
