A self-taught master of stones
- • Felix is entirely self-taught
- • He makes interior design pieces out of terrazzo
- • The infinite possibilities of terrazzo fascinate him
Felix Muhrhofer’s terrazzo pieces are no strangers to interior design lovers around the globe. His designs range from kitchen countertops to side tables and bar counters, bringing out the beauty of an often-overlooked mundane material – stones. This passion was sparked after Felix’s brother found a book featuring old terrazzo recipes. They tested it by making a floor in the apartment that they shared. Soon after, Felix designed and made his first kitchen. "The floor still exists today and is still beautiful." In 2001, he opened his first workshop in a garage after completing a degree in industrial and interior design in his hometown of Vienna at the University of Applied Arts and at the ELISAVA in Barcelona. Today, in a former farmhouse, he works with metal and wood, and casts and grinds terrazzo.

This freely formed side table is made of stones in colors ranging from grey to red from the River Tagliamento in Italy. The three legs are made of firewood from Vienna’s Forest. The cross-section of the wooden legs can be seen in the surface of the Terrazzo. The outline of the table surface is formed by natural river pebbles embedded in a light green base.
