Mutina

Ceramist - Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Mutina derives from the natural need to urge world top designers to bring their ideas, for the first time, to the landscape of ceramics materials. Mutina seeks and promote beauty, in the purest form of its being, through projects that combines design and art, in a course of experimentation and mutual contamination.

A dialogue on ceramics. Mutina celebrates the essence of ceramics in a dialogue with the top designers and with the contemporary art world

Mutina originates from a dual insight. On the one hand, the need to elevate the essence of ceramics through surfaces characterized by a strong tactility. On the other hand, the challenge of involving significant names in contemporary design and inviting them to engage with ceramic materials. The combination of these aspects gives rise to a perfect dialogue, leading the brand in 2005 to embark on an unprecedented journey to challenge the conventions of ceramics not only in terms of scale, texture, and composition but also in terms of creativity and experimentation.

Mutina is an author’s project developed alongside internationally acclaimed designers, including Michael Anastassiades, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Konstantin Grcic, Hella Jongerius, Laboratorio Avallone, OEO Studio, Raw Edges, Inga Sempé, Patricia Urquiola, Vincent Van Duysen, and Tokujin Yoshioka.

Sensitivity to form, desire for innovation, and openness to contamination have been integral to Mutina since its inception. In 2017, these principles materialized in the Mutina for Art initiative, a non-profit endeavour reflecting the company’s commitment to structured and articulated engagement with contemporary art. The aim is to make art a source of inspiration, experience, and, above all, a territory for exchange.

Enhancing ceramics through the enlightened combination of design and contemporary art within a process of experimentation and mutual contamination has also opened a dialogue with the collectable design world through the Editions. The Editions are collections of ceramic objects linked to the world of designer interiors, entirely handmade. Designed by the designers and artists of the Mutina team, each piece is signed and stamped sequentially to emphasise the exclusivity of the production. The collections offer collectible design objects, combining the authenticity of craftsmanship with the functionality of the design.

The Editions are in fact unique creations destined to last over time and to reach, one by one, ever y corner of the world.
