Domus is to launch its new tile collection, Piano, from Italian design house Mutina, during Clerkenwell Design Week. Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Piano is a striking, colourful, partially-glazed porcelain tile range, available exclusively from Domus in the UK.
With the Piano collection, Mutina re-discovered the technology of double charged clay, enabling them to obtain different textural effects in a wide range of colours. The slight variation in size and specific use of glaze creates a ‘vibrating’ effect, similar to the shimmering image of reflections on the water, creating an optical illusion of a none geometrical figure.
"The tiles can be fitted together at will, to create endless layout possibilities," explains Bouroullec. "Their random disposition is mysterious and creates the impression of a total continuation of space. This systemic rhythm always creates the space for originality."
Piano is made with coloured clays to which layers of glaze are added in different widths. There are five base colours: white, grey, blue, green and pink and two rectangular sizes (7.5 x 30cm and 10 x 30cm). And the tiles are arranged by colour and are grouped together by the lead colourway in the same box, this allows for the greatest variation and ability to create a vibrant fitted tile layout. Piano is suitable for both floors and walls, both indoors and outdoors.
There will be a dedicated Piano installation at Domus’ Clerkenwell Showroom during Clerkenwell Design Week 2018. Make sure you pop along. Find out more: domusgroup.com.
