The freckled nature of terrazzo makes it a marvellous place to play around with material, shape, and design. Mixing up mediums, adding colour, and pattern, these five companies are creating unique personalities for traditional terrazzo.
1) Zia Tile
A half and half half moon in unusual colour combinations, stripes, jagged steps, wobbly lines, and large stepping stone pebbles make up the motifs of Zia Tile‘s terrazzo collections. Their curated selection of shades opens up a massive number of layout possibilities, mixing and matching across designs for completely personalised terrazzo decoration.
2) Concrete Collaborative
Amongst their enormous catalogue of terrazzo styles, encompassing everything from stone chunk to microchips and baby pinks to slate greys, Concrete Collaborative‘s Scarpa collection offers a more ordered approach. Rows of semi-regular square stone chips form a vaguely cobbled effect with terrazzo scattered across the base for a sophisticated surface that has a healthy dose of joy.
3) Otto Tiles & Design
Delightful designs that are bold with colour, incorporate stylishly shaped stones, and provide wavy patterns, the offerings from Otto Tiles & Design are an entirely individual take on terrazzo, employing a touch of trencadis alongside more traditional methods.
4) Huguet Mallorca
Creating terrazzo within terrazzo, using uniquely shaped sticks, rounded stones, and cartoonish colourways, Huguet Mallorca‘s terrazzo offerings are filled to bursting with personality and creative flair.
5) Foresso
Made from waste wood sourced from the UK, Foresso‘s terrazzo-effect offering mixes wood dust and timber offcuts with a non-toxic binder to create a unique warm and woody surface that can be made into furniture or serve as a wall covering.
