What is terrazzo?
Terrazzo is made from offcuts of natural materials. Fragments of marble, stone or glass are set into a concrete based. It's then sanded and polished to give the shiny finish. The small fragments embedded into the concrete are what gives it a pretty confetti-effect. It's this that makes it a popular subject to produce as printed patterns to adorn homeware.
Where did terrazzo originally come from?
The original history of terrazzo can be traced back to ancient Egyptian mosaics. It's thought the terrazzo material we know today originated from Italy, derived from 18th Century Venetian pavements. This is what gives it it's reputation as an artisan flooring material.
