As the noth-east wind, Mistral by Mutina introduces a breath of fresh air in ceramic and design world. Thanks to Barber & Osgerby ( have a look to Primavera by Mutina ) Mutina’s research into three-dimensional elements led to the fabrication of a single piece in tape casting terracotta that is geometrically sophisticated and wellbalanced. The bases of the elements are multiples of the height, symbolising the versatility of the compositions. A variety of compositions are possible including horizontal, vertical, closed and open, and they are all adapted to both internal and external architecture
Mistral is inspired by the echo of ancient architectures. During a visit to the Italian countryside, we noticed how terracotta vent tiles were also used to provide natural ventilation in rural barns and out-buildings. They started thinking about their function as a partition, shielding
or revealing certain details. Mistral play with the light creating cones of light and shadow within the solid stone walls of the ancient farmstead. A clearly dark effect giving a plus to our rooms.
