Native Union creates luxurious accessories for technological devices and its latest Terrazzo collection features cases and chargers for the iPhone. The capsule draws design inspiration from interior home design and architecture, specifically the visual speckled look of terrazzo materials. The label's head of design, Fabien Nauroy states, we wanted to give the traditional terrazzo a contemporary twist when applying it to modern tech while still keeping the inspiration recognizable."
The iPhone accessories are constructed carefully by hand using a material called Jesmonite -- this results in the same mineral marble effect that terrazzo evokes. The Terrazzo collection features the 'CLIC' case for the iPhone X and X Max, and the 'Dock Wireless Charger' in a black or rosy pink colorway.
