Terrazzo decor is back stronger than ever. And it is that everything comes back when we talk about fashion and trends. So much so that this material and the designs inspired by it are the trend of the moment and offer endless possibilities. We detail some below:
1- What is terrazzo?
Lets start by the beginning. Terrazzo is a technique that emerged in the 15th century in Venice to take advantage of the remains of other materials that were used in construction such as marble, glass and stones such as limestone. These traces are joined using a binder such as cement.
It was used for a long time on floors and other surfaces for being cheap and very resistant. This aesthetic very present during the construction boom of the 20th century ended up being rejected. It ended up looking like an old-fashioned, obsolete style … until now! Terrazzo has returned to sneak into our homes and it has done so with great force.
We can find it as a material but also as a pattern on many articles: textiles, cutlery, cups…
If you are thinking that he will only accompany us on floors, let us tell you that now we can find him in a thousand different ways giving an original touch and with a certain vintage air to our homes:
