Osso & Bottone by Ronan Bouroullec

Floor: Osso S Grigio, Wall: Osso S Rosso

Osso & Bottone is the first Mutina collection intended explicitly for outdoor environments, but it also works perfectly indoors. Designed by Ronan Bouroullec, it represents a significant innovation in ceramic usage and versatility.

The name comes from the shapes evoked by the slightly contoured configuration of the pieces that make up the collection. The designer intervened on the ceramic elements with a symbolic gesture, “cutting” the traditional rectangle to create unique shapes. These shapes accommodate the stucco in their “missing parts” and create coloured geometries that make the composition dynamic, thanks to the precious work of light and shadow. The result is a kind of optical vibration capable of blurring the original configurations and opening a dialogue between the collection and the natural world it faces.

Sustainability

Osso & Bottone respects the environment and it doesn’t contain V.O.C.

OSSO

Osso is available in two versions: Osso L, measuring 7.5x23.1 cm, and Osso S, measuring 3x27.5 cm.

The shape of Osso is obtained through perimeter cuts that thin the central part, giving the single element a configuration similar to that of a bone. In the juxtaposition of the individual modules, a play of shapes within shapes is obtained, in which voids and solids dialogue with each other in an alternation of complementary perceptions.

BOTTONE

Bottone is available in two versions: Bottone L, measuring 7.5x32.1 cm, and Bottone S, measuring 3x27.5 cm. 

The shape of Bottone is obtained by means of circular perimeter cuts which, in the juxtaposition of two pieces with a 4 mm joint, become perfect circles reminiscent of buttons. In the juxtaposition of the individual modules, a play of shapes within shapes is obtained, in which voids and solids dialogue with each other in an alternation of complementary perceptions.

With a thickness of 10 mm each, Osso & Bottone modules are made of unglazed porcelain stoneware, with full body coloured mixture, available in a palette of five colours: Sabbia (sand), Grigio (gray), Rosso (red), Blu (blue), and Verde (green).

These are not solid colours but hues obtained from a delicate mix of coloured earth, which, working in synergy with the ceramic texture, enhances its extremely material and natural appearance. Thanks to uniform processing throughout the thickness, the resulting surface exhibits excellent technical and durability characteristics.

“Osso & Bottone is a collection consisting of modules of rectangular tiles sculpted with edge cuts that create large voids, revealing patterns through the joints.”
