Terrazzo: The Ultimate Material for Modern and Elegant Decor

Terrazzo, a material with roots in ancient Rome, has made a strong comeback in contemporary design, offering unique aesthetics and versatility. Discover why this distinctive material is a top choice for decorating your space.

What is Terrazzo?

Terrazzo is created from a mixture of marble, granite, glass, or other material fragments (chips), which are embedded in a cement or epoxy resin base. The surface of terrazzo is smoothed and polished, revealing a unique mosaic of colorful pieces.

At the Leion Lab, we create chips from the eco-friendly material Jesmonite and then incorporate them into our mixture from the same material!

History and Revival

The history of terrazzo dates to ancient Rome, where it was widely used for the floors of wealthy homes and public buildings. In the 1920s and 1930s, terrazzo experienced a revival in Italy and Southern Europe. Today, terrazzo is being rediscovered with modern techniques and colors, once again capturing the attention of designers and architects worldwide.
