The return of the Venetian Terrace.

That of the Venetian terrazzo, back in vogue in recent years, seems to be a trend destined to endure not only in flooring but also infurniture, accessories, product design, and even stationery! Like it or not, its typically colorful and imperfect pattern does not go unnoticed.

Berti Pavimenti Legno, heir to the ancient art of wood inlay applied to modern laser technology, pays homage to the history, tradition, and culture of its territory with the Venice quadrotta, in the new Square Space collection presented at Domotex 2019 in Hannover, proposed as follows: with an oak base and teak inlays, brushed and matte varnished, measuring 600x600mm with the possibility of customization with colored resin.

A BIT OF HISTORY

Venetian terrazzo is so called because it is in the lagoon city that it reached its greatest development and splendor , but its roots go back toancient Greece. From here, the Romans brought the technique to Italy, and it was not until the Renaissance that it became linked to the history of the city of Venice.
In the important Venetian villas, the increasingly artistic decorations required long and laborious workmanship, typically handcrafted-just as if they were mosaics.
In the late 1800s when innovations made it easier to execute terrazzo, it also emigrated to England and even to the United States for the creation of some rooms in the White House.
