No less preferred is the terrazzo look itself, which is used by many young designers such as Max Lamb in their creations. Traditionally, in the production of terrazzo tiles and slabs pure mineral substances such as lime and cement are used. The effective mosaic look is then achieved by stone chips, which were replaced by glass in the 80s with innovative-thinking designers. Especially these artists have raised terrazzo to undisputed trend.
