How does terrazzo play with fashion trends and become fashion darlings again?
The exquisite skin is the same, the interesting soul is one in a thousand-Wilde
In my heart, terrazzo is the interesting soul of the stone industry.Different from other stones, terrazzo has higher plasticity and creates space. Combining different colors and materials, you can give full play to your imagination. Just like a lively child, it can create infinite possibilities.
First of all, let us first understand how the terrazzo is made up, right?
Terrazzo (also known as grindstone) is a product made by mixing crushed stone, glass, quartz stone and other aggregates into cement binders to make a concrete product, which is then ground and polished on the surface. The terrazzo made of cement bonding material is called inorganic grindstone, and the terrazzo made of epoxy bonding material is also called epoxy grindstone or organic grindstone. According to the construction and production process, the terrazzo is divided into on-site pouring terrazzo and prefabricated board terrazzo ground .
In recent years, with the abundance of materials and the advancement of manufacturing techniques, people have begun to use epoxy resin instead of cement as a binder for terrazzo. Terrazzo shows richer colors and patterns, and crafts are more resilient. Terrazzo has once again appeared on the fashion stage and has become a fashion darling.
After the terrazzo has been reinterpreted, there are more possibilities, such as countertops, furniture, utensils, and even various covers... There are also data on Pinterest showing that the number of pictures with the "terrazzo" label in 2018 has increased by 316%. Not to mention, terrazzo has become the key word for home decoration this year!
Today I want to share some interesting designs with you:
This is the home of designer Katir Gillies, whose terrazzo products are all designed by her.
Katie is passionate about terrazzo. She pays great attention to materials, production areas, and production methods, while also considering environmental protection and sustainability.
In addition, this creator is Monday Lee, who likes to do handicrafts. These terrazzo derivatives are all designed and made by him. He looked for inspiration in his life and brought the color of terrazzo to the extreme. When I first saw his work, I liked it very much. As a color obsessive-compulsive patient, it would be very comfortable to watch it.

Finally, I often ask myself, what can we leave in this world in the changing times? Perhaps it is the inner yearning for beautiful things and the uneasy way to create new possibilities.
