With Mattonelle Margherita, Mutina has worked with color, along with the artist Nathalie Du Pasquier, creating a complex project featuring a blend of different aesthetic and formal means of expression. The collection is characterized by a dual concept: on the one hand, a simple, minimalist style and, on the other, a courageous, creative approach. The elements are created in glazed porcelain stoneware, deepening into a careful research about the glazes, in order to identify the most reactive, so as to give a bright, vibrant finish to the satin-effect surface.
The Mattonelle Margherita universe is composed of 41 different patterns, designed by hand: 27 graphics and 6 plain elements in the 20.5x20.5 cm size, 6 patterns and 2 plain elements in the 10.1x20.5 cm size. The graphics can be combined with each other, allowing for the creation of endless different layouts, always novel and innovative, suitable for tiling entire surfaces on both floors and walls, or for creative interesting decorative details in any home, such as wood panelling effects, skirting and doors frames. The combinations suggested - some with a simple, minimalist style, others of a more audacious nature - are ideal for those who like to experiment and play around with covering materials to obtain surprising results.
