Cocciopesto is an ancient material, known for its low embodied carbon, is made from finely crushed brick fragments mixed with lime-based mortar. Cocciopesto embodies the fusion of artistry, craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.
Versatile in its applications, Cocciopesto allows us to create unique flooring, monolithic pieces and precast claddings while maintaining a reduced carbon footprint. The hand-smoothed surface of Cocciopesto reveals characteristic ripples and granular textures, while its resilience and excellent physical and thermal properties ensure durability and functionality.
