Welcome to Origin81, a unique company dedicated to exploring the incredible creations made possible by terrazzo—a material first utilized in Ancient Rome and later revived in the 16th century. Founded by Mark Pettifer, Origin81 draws inspiration from the endless possibilities that terrazzo offers, blending it seamlessly with wood and metal to craft truly exceptional pieces.

Mark's fascination with terrazzo stems from its versatility, allowing him to infuse traditional projects with a modern twist. By harmonizing terrazzo with wood and metal, Mark not only creates visually stunning pieces but also pays homage to his lifelong passion for nature's shapes and curves, inspired by his adventures in the mountains and at sea.

With over two decades of experience as a Furniture Maker, Mark has honed his craft, producing a breath taking array of bespoke furniture and handcrafted projects for a loyal clientele. Clients often approach him with a vision, seeking a skilled craftsman to bring their ideas to life. Mark finds immense satisfaction in personally designing and fabricating each element of a piece, ensuring every creation meets his exacting standards.

At Origin81, we prioritise the seamless integration of design and build processes. Our workshop is meticulously designed and equipped to handle timber, metals, and concrete, with a dedicated area for terrazzo mixing, moulding, and finishing.
