Mutina ADAGIO Double-fired ceramic 3D Wall Cladding

Adagio is a project consisting of a series of ceramic modules designed by Ronan Bouroullec to be assembled and generate scenic wall sculptures.‎ The reticular structure resembles the fabric’s weave, whose three-dimensionality is made evident by the overlap of elements.‎ The name refers to musical tempos and the slowness of the gesture: Adagio requires applying one piece at a time, following a sophisticated interlocking game.‎ Adagio took part in the Résonance exhibition, inaugurated on the 5th of March, 2024, and curated by Marie-Ange Brayer and Olivier Zeitoun at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.‎ The exhibition explores the prolific career of Ronan Bouroullec,highlighting his prominent role in the world of international contemporary design.‎ Within the display, Adagio covers an entire wall, serving as an unusual backdrop for other Editions designed by Ronan Bouroullec for Mutina.‎ The set-up project reflects Adagio’s versatility and provides an exemplary manifestation of both colour combination and configuration.‎ Since 2024, Adagio has also become part of the permanent collection at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.‎ Adagio is a glazed double-firing white body hand-finished with extremely shiny enamels that, through a particular application, manage to wrap all vertical sides of the piece.‎  It is available in a palette of five glossy colours: Bianco (white), Grigio (gray), Rosso (red), Blu (blue), and Verde (green).‎ They can be used individually or in five combinations of two colours: Grigio + Blu (gray + blue), Grigio + Bianco (gray + white), Grigio + Verde (gray + green), Rosso + Blu (red + blue), Rosso + Verde (red + green).‎ Each application involves a play of interactions between the element itself and the finished wall surface on which it is applied.‎ By playing with the paints on which it rests, Adagio becomes an extraordinarily expressive and versatile product.‎ Further info from manufacturer on ADAGIO Mutina
