Mutina
Since 2005, Mutina has approached ceramics as more than a material. Led by founder Massimo Orsini, the Italian brand has evolved into a design project where research, craftsmanship and artistic curiosity converge in collections defined by a distinctive tactile and architectural character.
Mutina’s approach is rooted in close collaborations with some of the most influential designers, architects and artists of our time. Each collection emerges from an ongoing dialogue, exploring and expanding the possibilities of ceramic surfaces through new perspectives, textures and formats. The outcome is a body of work that brings together the traditions of craftsmanship and a contemporary design language.
For Mutina, ceramics are a medium for experimentation. The material is used to create atmosphere, rhythm and spatial experiences that extend beyond the conventional understanding of tiles. Collections range from graphic to organic, understated to expressive, while maintaining a consistent respect for the intrinsic qualities of the material.
Over the years, Mutina has collaborated with renowned creatives including Patricia Urquiola, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Konstantin Grcic, Tokujin Yoshioka, Michael Anastassiades, Inga Sempé and Raw Edges. What unites these collaborations is a shared commitment to quality, innovation and thoughtful design.
At the same time, Mutina operates at the intersection of design, architecture and contemporary art. Through the Mutina for Art programme, the company supports exhibitions, artistic initiatives and cultural collaborations that reflect the same sense of curiosity and openness found within its collections. This close relationship between art and design forms an integral part of Mutina’s identity, contributing to a broader cultural narrative in which materials, objects and spaces are connected.
At Fredsted Studio, we have chosen Mutina for its distinctive ability to combine experimental design with a deep understanding of materiality. The collections bring depth, character and tactility to both residential and commercial spaces, while opening up new possibilities for working with ceramic surfaces.
