Memphis Style

The history of terrazzo can be traced back to the ancient mosaics of Egypt, its predecessors come from Italy. The form of terrazzo used today derives partly from the 18th century pavimento alla Veneziana Venetian Pavement and the cheaper seminato. Pavimento alla Veneziana had workers place marble fragments next to each other in a mortar base. Terrazzo is also related to the technique seminato for which workers tossed larger marble chips into the cement that was then ground and polished.

Small fragments of stone and base colour are the signature of the modern classic Terrazo tiles which peaked in Memphis Style patterns of the 1980s in Milan and around the world.
