Etymology
The term 'parquet' originates from the French word 'parquet', which means 'a small compartment' and is derived from the Old French 'parquet', a diminutive of 'parque', meaning 'to enclose'. Parquet flooring became prominent in France during the 17th century as a way to showcase intricate wood designs and craftsmanship. It was designed to provide both elegance and durability to floor surfaces. The parquet technique gained popularity across Europe, particularly in grand palaces and residences, as it allowed for creative geometric patterns that emphasize the natural beauty of wood. Over the years, various styles of parquet flooring have evolved, including herringbone and chevron patterns, which are now widely utilized in modern interior design.
