The project

The three different colors of terrazzo provided by Agglotech are featured in the flooring and interior cladding of China’s new Shanghai Times Square, lending the structure a touch of distinctive Italian design. Color SB240 Torcello was used in a number of areas to evoke the tradition of Venetian seminato as embodied in its large, white marble chips set in a gray cement base. To lend the space greater light and consistency of color, SB1000 Thassos, a marble-cement agglomerate made with a mix of small marble chips extracted directly from the white marble quarries on the Greek island of Thassos, was also used. Finally, a fully custom-made terrazzo featuring a delicate orange hue gives the whole setting a modern style in which the austerity of white and gray is elevated by a touch of Italian flair.
