MUTINA CELEBRATES THE CLASSIC 20×20 CM TILE FORMAT WITH THREE NEW COLLECTIONS BY VINCENT VAN DUYSEN, RAW EDGES, AND INGA SEMPÉ

Mutina celebrates the traditional 20×20 cm "cement tile" with a project involving some of the most influential designers of the moment. This launch features Vincent Van Duysen, Raw Edges and Inga Sempé, who have reimagined the classic square format through a contemporary lens. The result is a series of new collections reaffirming Mutina’s commitment to rethinking ceramic tradition with fresh insight and a strong focus on the future.

AURORE
VINCENT VAN DUYSEN

Aurore is the new collection designed by Vincent Van Duysen, starting from the iconic 20×20 cm format. 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.

BETTY
RAW EDGES

Inspired by the traditional cement tile and its classic format, Betty is the new collection designed by Raw Edges for Mutina. Its name doesn’t come from a famous figure—it’s inspired by someone even more special: Aunt Betty, whose home, after years spent in Brazil, became unlike any other. What stood out most in the designers’ memories were her bold kitchen tiles, forming a fluid, highly graphic grid. That very design serves as the foundation for the entire collection.

DINTORNI
INGA SEMPÉ

Inga Sempé also celebrates the iconic 20×20 cm format with Dintorni. The collection explores the infinite possibilities of ceramics, drawing on some key ceramic traditions and reinterpreting them with a contemporary approach. The name Dintorni, meaning “surroundings,” evokes everything that lies beyond the known and the endless potential for discovery and surprise. Like a flâneur, the French designer roams through her imagination in search of new forms of representation.
