Aurore by Vincent Van Duysen

Inspired by children’s chalk drawings on pavements, the collection is a nostalgic evocation of that simple and spontaneous form of creative expression, where each line is but a fleeting mark, exposed to the passage of time.

Similarly, the grids that define the collection feature overlapping light and dark strokes, reminiscent of the traces left behind by those ephemeral chalk drawings.

Sustainability

Aurore respects the environment and it doesn’t contain V.O.C.

Aurore is available in three variations: a solid colour, a wide-mesh grid (Grid L), and a narrow-mesh grid (Grid S). Each comes in four elegant and delicate shades: Light Blue, Light Green, Light Grey, and Charcoal.

The elements of the collection can be freely combined, either tone-on-tone or in contrast, allowing for a mix of different colours or grids.

Vincent Van Duysen

Belgian architect and designer, Vincent Van Duysen joined the Mutina team in 2022. He designed the Aurore, Kosei, Renga and Yama collections.

“As far back as I can remember, I have always been drawn to the chalk drawings children create on the pavement. They convey an honest, spontaneous expression that elevates the space around them. These ‘imprints’ are fleeting, appearing differently at every moment before eventually disappearing altogether. With Aurore, I hope to echo this slightly nostalgic sentiment. The background colour of the tiles seems to shift and fade over time, while delicate, refined lines overlay them with sensitivity. I find joy not only in observing them but also in combining them, allowing the tiles to inhabit and reveal their own spaces.”
