Terrazzo: the kind with large stone chips

A large-aggregate terrazzo. The aggregate size ranges from two to four centimeters, with each piece clearly distinguishable in shape and color, like scattered candies embedded in a plain cement base. The base color is off-white or light gray, and the aggregate pieces are low-saturation pink, earthy yellow, and grayish-green. The surface is matte-ground and non-reflective. It is used for coffee table tops, countertops, and localized flooring. Avoid: small, dense aggregate that looks like regular floor tiles, high-saturation bright aggregate, polishing the surface to reflection, using terrazzo over large areas to dominate the space.

一片大顆粒的水磨石。骨材的尺寸達兩到四公分,每一顆的形狀與顏色都清楚可辨,像散落的糖果嵌在素色的水泥底裡;底色是米白或淺灰,石粒是低彩度的粉紅、土黃與灰綠。表面是霧面研磨的不反光。它用在矮几的桌板、檯面與局部的地坪上。避免:使用細小密集的骨材看起來像一般的地磚、使用高彩度的鮮豔石粒、把表面拋光到反射、讓水磨石大面積使用到主導空間。
