Scalamandré Zebras Wallpaper

This is one of the most recognisable wallpapers, and the story behind it is brilliant.

In the 1940s, a New York restaurateur called Gino Circiello opened Gino of Capri on the Upper East Side. He'd always dreamed of going on safari but couldn't afford the trip, so he did the next best thing: asked his friend Valentino Crescenzi to paint zebras and arrows all over the walls instead. When a fire tore through the restaurant in the seventies, Gino called in another friend, Flora Scalamandré, to recreate the design by hand. When it went to print, a stripe was missing from the baby zebra's backside but nobody minded and it stayed. The paper then ended up featuring in Woody Allen's "Mighty Aphrodite" and Wes Anderson's "The Royal Tenenbaums”.

We have five rolls in Masai Red with 15 metres on each roll, plus a little extra that we can throw in.
