In a recent press conference Italian ceramic design company Mutina announced that their latest collection, Phenomenon, will be styled by Tokujin Yoshioka. The company, which prides itself on its forward-looking and energetic attitude, has been aggressively teaming up with high-profile designers such as Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Patricia Urquiola.
Known for his sensitive depictions of the laws of nature, as well as natural phenomenon, Yoshioka brings his signature style to ceramic tiling, interpreting them, not as industrial products, but as layers of nature, galvanizing our imagination of what ceramic tiling can be. The result is a beautiful fusion of the audacity of Italian design and the poetic lushness of Japanese design.
