Concept

“Numi is made of signs, handmade signs, specific signs, imperfect signs which become black stroke’s geometries. The ceramic tile represents a small unit which, once multiplied, turns into something larger than the sum of its parts”

Numi marks the beginning of the collaboration between Mutina and the German designer Konstantin Grcic. For the first time, Grcic has to deal with the ceramic surface and presents a book about research and inspirations with a very strong appeal to contemporary art. “Ceramic! Working at my very first collection for Mutina, I’ve come to value the beauty of this simple and ancient material. A lump of clay that becomes floor, coating. The idea of matter as something composed of so many units, is really fundamental. A philosophical concept as much as a biological fact. The ceramic tile simply represents this: a small unit which, once multiplied, turns into something larger than the sum of its parts.” Konstantin told us.

Numi is made of signs, handmade signs, specific signs, imperfect signs which become black stroke’s geometries, sublimated through delicate contrasts and interpreted on a “soft” cement with natural and dusty pigments. Precise signs slowly become well-defined geometries, express through transparent and shiny patterns realized on a matt surface, creating delicate contrasts among matters.
