Dechirer

Déchirer was a breakthrough in the world of designer tiles. The use of Continua technology allowed to realize large slabs in unglazed porcelain stoneware, modular and single work-size, that can be used both on floors and walls.

The bas-reliefs that elegantly cross the surface are barely visible; they are not mere decorations, but represent what remains of torn memories. The color palette is composed by neutral tones that allow to create changeable spaces, harmonic and enchanting, yet able to keep a contemporary look. 

The collection combines surfaces, textures and different materials, as well as researching on materials, experimenting with new technologies, re-interpreting shapes and colors. Furthermore, sustainability and respecting the environment is a prerogative of the collection, which creates a modern and refined design that is also eco-friendly.

Patricia Urquiola, Spanish architect and designer, but italian at heart, joined the Mutina team in 2008. She designed numerous collections, including Déchier, Bas-Relief, Azulej, Tierras, Déchirer XL, Celosia, El Lobo, Mater, Chamotte e Jali. 

“Déchirer comes from the idea of creating a surface inspired by the opacity of concrete, always preserving its identity of ceramic. Working side by side, always taking part into the creative and production process, being also able to enjoying it.”
