What are the best bar top ideas for unique commercial bar tops? Discover the benefits of Sensitile Terrazzo for DIY bar design.
LOOKING FOR UPSCALE BAR TOP IDEAS?
I’ve worked with many great products in commercial bar design. Some very unique bar top ideas, made from terrazzo concrete, is offered by Sensitile Systems.
SENSITILE TERRAZZO LUMINA BAR TOP WITH BUILT-IN LED LIGHTING
A PASSIVE, LIGHT-REACTIVE PRODUCT
The concept behind these products is rooted in light interaction:
The material senses changes in light directly above its surface.
Small optical resin chips (“points”) at the surface, are embedded into the terrazzo.
A fiber optic network that interconnects the chips below the surface.
Hand movement and changing light colors above the surface creates interaction between adjacent chips.
The chips twinkle above the product’s surface.
In summary, Sensitile Terrazzo is not electronic in any way. The surface particles are purely light-reactive.

This is a very nice, upscale product that requires no maintenance. Sensitile Terrazzo is a passive, light-reactive slab of concrete that requires no special wiring or sensors.
