terazzo tables by martino gamper

'for the designers of the future exhibition, I chose to emphasize working with concrete in the form of terazzo.

terazzo is traditionally used as a floor wal covering, made by layering marble or stone chips in mortar and

then grinding them to a polished level surface. I have created a series of low and high tables, while using

this special terazzo mosaic technique. in the process i used a brass frame work as the formwork for pouring

the terazzo concrete mix. once the mix hardened the top surface was polished and wooden legs added

to the bottom'. MG
