FEATURE Terrazzo with a Twist
Terrazzo has been reinvented in a big way! Giant flecks, imaginative colour palettes or geometric patterns that have been combined with marble pieces for an entirely new look. A number of brands have created designs that nod at traditional terrazzo – tiny chips of marble or stone set in a cementitious ground – but introduce some kind of twist. Another key development is that it’s now possible to have a larger-format version – even a generous 360cm x 120cm slab – as well as a wider variety of unexpected smaller formats.

Modern Encaustic
The hydraulic cement effect has never been more popular, but what is interesting from the display of new ranges at Cevisama is that we’re now seeing innovative modern takes on this. One brand wittily combined multiple patterns on wood grain whilst another brand avoided a traditional palette of colours preferring dusky pink and terracotta hues. Or instead of a mix of colour, the use of a neutral palette immediately offers a more contemporary spin with many brands displaying interesting geometric motifs in monochrome.
Deconstructed Squares ▲
Squares are everywhere! Not just as a popular format to rival the rectangular – though for sure the small-format 20cm square has its fans – but as a geometric form that can be experimented with and endlessly reinvented. Scratched, painted, pressed into a mould, square tiles fit so well into rooms and spaces. And it seems that a tendency towards deconstruction is going on with designers being very keen on cutting up the shape and rearranging it, turning it on its side, elongating it.
