Mater - name that comes from materia, matter in Italian, which recalls the earth used to realize the neutral bases of the collection - is a project where glaze becomes the true protagonist, being applied with an innovative glazing technique which allowed for the creation of a tactile effect with great visual impact. It is an industrial collection able to convey the same sensations of an artisanal product, suitable for residential and commercial spaces, indoor and outdoor.
Mater in produced in porcelain stoneware in the sizes 15x60 cm, 60x60 cm and 120x120 cm, available in a basic version with neutral background in the colors Uni Beige and Uni Moka. Starting from these two modules, the collection develops into six variants characterized by a glossy finish and a decorative pattern, Segno.
Combined with Uni Beige it creates Segno Bianco, Segno Blu and Segno Terra, on Uni Moka it gives birth to Segno Nero, Segno Verde and Segno Ocra.
Patricia Urquiola, arquiteta e designer espanhola, mas italiana de coração, se juntou à equipe da Mutina em 2008. Ela projetou inúmeras coleções, incluindo Déchirer, Bas-Relief, Azulej, Tierras, Déchirer XL, Celosia, El Lobo, Mater, Chamotte e Jali.
“The collection was inspired by the floor in Mutina’s meeting room. Massimo and I wanted to reinterpret that artisanal element. So, we started this journey full of empathy and discoveries. In fact, Mater is made of technology, experimentation, craftsmanship to the eye and to the touch.”
