Terrazzo is the name given to ceramic tiles with various geometric patterns used to decorate homes. These ceramic tiles have been used since ancient times, initially hand-drawn, dried, specially treated, and then used to adorn living spaces.
The terrazzo embellishment technique is used in both exterior and interior architecture and is common in many countries: Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Morocco, Iran, Mexico, and Portugal.
Initial influences came from Egypt and Persia, where terrazzo tiles were primarily used indoors in churches, featuring certain shades of blue. Patterns were fixed through firing and the use of various oils. As techniques drew closer to those of Italy, tiles were covered with white faience, allowing paint to be applied directly, which provided the tile with greater resistance.
The decorative theme of these tiles features floral motifs or repetitive geometric shapes: bouquets of flowers, cups, or other figurative elements, networks and geometric patterns, as well as unmatched tiles, where each piece represented an independent composition, or panels that illustrated people or paintings specific to the era.
Over time, the manufacturing technique of colored decorative tiles has advanced. However, terrazzo or "placile mozaic" retains its dynamic personality and geometric motifs inspired by oriental culture.
The manufacturing process involves pouring the color in layers and hydraulic pressing. Each plate contains three strata: one of white cement, one of marble powder, and one of pigments. Because it is colored throughout its mass, time does not damage the appearance, and the colors cannot be erased as they are integrated into the depth of the plate.
Decorative plaques with geometric patterns can be used both in Bathroom design Terrazzo is increasingly popular for both residential and commercial spaces, used as an accent for walls, to define specific areas, or even for flooring. Architects and interior designers favor using colorful decorative tiles in simple, airy contexts that highlight the active presence of terrazzo.
