Terrazzo Pencil

When fashion brand Acne introduced a line of garments with prints inspired by terrazzo, a composite material traditionally used for walls and floors, in 2014, we knew it wasn’t the last we’d seen of it in fashion and design.

Danish brand Hay’s ever-expanding stationary line now includes ‘Terrazzo Pencil’, a cedarwood and graphite pencil available in three colours.

The light and shadows on each terrazzo folding makes it stand out from the background as a three-dimensional object,” explain the creatives behind the project.
