After soaring to popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, Terrazzo is set to make a comeback with a contemporary twist.
It comes as a welcome change after marble has dominated the dome decor space for the last 5+ years. Expect to see Terrazzo inspiring everything from flooring (as it’s been traditionally used) to soft furnishings.
What is Terrazzo?
Terrazzo is a composite material made from combining chips of glass, marble, or quartz with a binding material. The mixture poured in place (for example, on a floor) or precast (into a shape, like blocks or tiles) and polished. The technique dates back 500+ years and is thought to have originated in Italy.
Here are ten of our favourite items if you’re looking to incorporate the Terrazzo trend into your home this autumn.
