Mutina EYES CHALK MATT Porcelain stoneware wall tiles

The collection is enhanced by five figurative pieces in high relief depicting body parts that emerge from the surface like archaeological fragments or ancient votive offerings – Eyes, Ears, Mouths, Noses, Nipples.‎ Each piece comprises three elements, available only in the colour Chalk, in both gloss and matt finishes, to highlight the primordial nature of the material.‎ Each set consists of six pieces, which are not sold separately and are included in a single package.‎ Faces & Figures is born from the encounter between the body and clay.‎ It is from this primordial relationship—in which clay receives the gesture, preserves its memory and returns the trace of contact—that the first collaboration between Faye Toogood and Mutina takes shape: a collection that transforms the language of sculpture into an architectural system, capable of bringing a silent and deeply human presence into space.‎ The project stems from a material and instinctive process: dozens of models and edges worked entirely by hand, cardboard studies, clay maquettes and continuous experiments on the human figure are progressively reduced to fluid and essential forms.‎ No longer figurative elements, but archetypes: modules capable of repeating, combining and building surfaces, walls and volumes.‎ From this research emerges a project developed through complementary systems, each dedicated to exploring a different dialogue between the human figure and architecture.‎ Further info from manufacturer on EYES CHALK MATT Mutina
