In the top ten, a materiality, an example that I took with me in the top ten because it also represents a piece of. At the moment, I'll say cautiously a phenomenon that we are observing, perhaps this shows that the phenomenon is becoming the next big trend.

The very appearance of the terrazzo-like surface is clearly visible in cross section that this is terrazzo. The terrazzo in terms of health, which in turn also has beautiful properties, cement matrix, natural stone, completely unproblematic. The natural stone that is used here also has the nice feature that it is a recycled material in a stone-processing company. The resulting section is shredded and these terrazzo tiles are created and made from them.

Why this material from the point of view of trend, tendency? Because we are seeing very clearly at the moment that terrazzo-like looks are extremely popular among young people. More and more old hands are rediscovering the material terrazzo and when you look at this grainy surface and structure in front of your mind, think about what other materials can you think of.

Then you might come across the first recycled plastics in your mind's eye, which often had this very colorful, funky look. Back then, from an optical point of view, no one really wanted and wanted to use. In the meantime, a trend has really developed here that it is important to more and more designers when recycled material is used, that it is easy to see that it may even be important. To see and communicate that. This is one of the reasons why it is in the top ten selection here.
