Standard Terrazzo
Modern Day Terrazzo
Terrazzo was first introduced in the United States in the late 1890s, but did not achieve popularity until the 1920s. The Art Deco and Moderna movement from the 1920s to 1940s favored terrazzo with dividers allowing for straight or curved lines that increased the decorative potential.
Venetian Terrazzo
Italy’s Finest
The origins of terrazzo can trace their roots across the globe and as far back as ancient Egypt, but modern-day terrazzo that we use today began its story around 500 years ago in Venice, Italy. Venetian artisans of the time began to take the discarded chips from marble slabs and embedded them into concrete mixtures.
