Created in the 15th century in Venice as a low-cost way to surface terraces surrounding the city’s homes, Terrazzo became popular during the midcentury era, where it could be found in commercial spaces including airports, cultural institutions, schools, and hotels. Still appreciated for its durability and low-maintenance, today’s Terrazzo is an environmentally friendly material that is easily customizable and can be poured into different patterns and shapes to produce a smooth, uniformly textured surface for floors, walls, stairs, curbs, counter-tops, and even furniture.
