Mutina, one of the brightest stars in the imaginary tile-maker's sky. An Italian brand relying on years of tradition, yet new, fresh, innovative, and bold. A company working with top designers led by megastar Patricia Urquiola, who created the Azulej and Déchirer collections for Mutina. The company Archtiles is proud to have tiles and coverings from Mutina in its catalog.

Collaboration with top designers is key for Mutina, which is why architects and interior designers rank it among the absolute elite. The ceramics from the town of Fiorano near Modena pay homage to the wonders of nature, create a deep impression in interiors, and are adorned with numerous awards.
The products of this company are intended for demanding customers. "Mutina is not a classical manufacturer of tiles and coverings. It is an alchemist that produces products far removed from the classical range of tiles and coverings. They are experimenters who do not follow the opinions of the mainstream at all,” emphasizes Petr Kunt.
This is proved primarily by the current collection, which comes from the creative mind of Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka and the world-famous London duo Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby. The former designed the already very successful Phenomenon series for Mutina, which won the Wallpaper Design Award and Elle Decoration Design Award in 2011. The Londoners Barber and Osgerby recently drew attention with the torch for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, for which the prestigious Wallpaper magazine ranked them among the best designers of the year.
But the catalog Mutina is much more diverse. The products designed by the Israeli design duo Raw Edges look like modern art paintings. Interesting, unconventional products are also created in the studios of designer and architect Monika Armani, industrial designer and restorer Silvie Giacobazzi, French top designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, and last but not least, Milanese designer and architect Rodolfo Dordoni.
“In collaboration with significant designers, the brand Mutina tries new things, unconventional ideas. Their view of ceramic tiles and coverings stems from the very essence and true value of this material (baked clay/ceramics/porcelain), which they only manipulate into various shapes of surfaces and colors without compromising its own beauty,” reveals the secret of the brand Petr Kunt from Archtiles.
