With Carrousel, Ronan Bouroullec designs a new collection for Mutina Editions composed of ten ceramic vases and four mirrors, developed around the timeless and essential contrast of black and white. The vases series includes five distinct models characterised by a balance between formal rigour and artisanal sensitivity. Alongside the vases, the collection also includes the Miroir (mirrors) — sculptural objects that transcend their reflective function to become true architectural presences.

Miroir Moyen Gris and Vase #4 Blanc
Miroir Moyen Gris and Vase #5 Noir
Vase #1, Vase #2, and Vase #3 are available in both monochromatic and bichromatic Blanc and Noir versions. Vase #4 and Vase #5, on the other hand, explore the encounter between the two tones through refined geometric compositions in anodized aluminum or black elastic bands that dynamically trace the ceramic surface.
Miroir is vailable in two sizes — Grand (175×73 cm) and Moyen (113×73 cm) — and in two colourways — Gris and Orange — the mirrors combine coloured glass with a handcrafted ceramic structure made through slip-casting.
The individual elements are crafted, hand-glazed and then assembled, generating dynamic and ever-changing effects depending on light and point of view.
Carrousel is released as a limited edition collection of 25 plus 2 A.P.: each piece is signed and numbered.

“Black and white is the beginning of a new chapter. A moment of concentration, a quieter language through which form, balance and materiality can emerge more clearly. Even in their stillness, these objects remain alive through reflection, movement and sound.”
