Terrazzo Trivets
Upcycled Concrete
We love this sustainable collaboration between Mud Australia and the very clever people at Five Mile Radius in Brisbane. The creation - Terrazzo Trivets that combine upcycled concrete and Mud’s broken/waste porcelain to create a unique zero-waste product. Bravo!
These one-of-a-kind trivets protect fragile surfaces, like your timber dining table or kitchen countertops while at the same time complementing a variety of domestic settings.
From its earliest use as an affordable way to use marble scraps in eighteenth-century Venice pavements, terrazzo has been subject to rapid re-imaginings. This month, Mud Australia is globally launching a zero-waste terrazzo collection, led by founder, Shelley Simpson’s, passion for innovative upcycling and minimization of waste. Determined to create an inventive use for their broken ceramics, Shelley reached out to Brisbane based company, Five Mile Radius, to utilize broken porcelain pieces as aggregate in their upcycled concrete products to create a new take on terrazzo.
“I really love the playfulness of terrazzo and I also love finding a useful and aesthetic home for our broken mud pieces, so this feels like a perfect fit”
The Mud Australia table trivets stand alone as design objects while also providing protection to more fragile surfaces. Available in 3 designs – a small “round” tablet, and a medium and large “capsule”, the trivets also come in 3 distinct colourways – Neutrals, Blues and the multi-coloured Mixed. Each colourway beautifully compliments a variety of table and domestic settings. Each trivet is backed with recycled PET felt and comes in a felt storage pouch, also made of recycled PET.
