Terrazzo
Could terrazzo be the new marble?
The interiors material isn’t a new idea, but its
recent resurgence in luxury homes and trendy
restaurants like Granger & Co have us crushing
on it big time once again.
Originating in 15th-century Italy, it came about
when Venetian marble-workers who were unable
to afford real marble for their floors created the
mosaic texture by mixing discarded pieces of
marble with clay.
Look down at the floor at a busy train station or
airport and often you’ll find yourself standing on
a speckled concrete floor which, until recently,
hadn’t commanded much attention from the
interiors trendsters.
Scandi design-led brands such as HAY and
Normann introducing terazzo-themed furniture
and accessories, and images of terrazzo-clad
kitchens and bathrooms have been appearing
on Pinterest daily.
