Rombini
Mutina + Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Rombini is a project consisting of three models: tiles, mosaics and relief elements.

It seeks to provide a complete response by offering multiple combinations; rhythmic and colorful blends which go from the tile to the mosaic, from the mosaic to the relief, from the relief to the tile.

“Rombini is an alphabet of shapes and colours.” 

Rombini collection is about a ceramic story, a research path, an exploration within the colours field. The collection is declinated in grey, blue, green, red and then white, a passe-partout to create endless combinations with the other shades.

Rombini is a real interior design project, based on colour and composed by three elements: CARRÉ, LOSANGE and TRIANGLE. Carré, 400x400 rectified slabs in glazed porcelain stoneware, are produced on a mould made of many little embossing diamonds on a matt surface which gives a strong ceramic identity to the collection.

Carré is available in two versions: Uni, where colour is evenly distributed throughout the whole slab, and Light, where colour is used to underline the white diamonds outlines. With Losange, the shape of the rhombus becomes bigger and turns into a chip of a mosaic. Made of double charge porcelain stoneware, each piece is installed on 275x257 mm sheets. The chromatic range results to be deep and intense, thanks to the matt surface which gives a natural character to the product.

Even in this case the element is available in two versions, through the usage of matching or with contrasting grout, for a stronger vibration. Thanks to Triangle, the shape of the rhombus is interpreted in its three-dimensional shape, in order to create games of lights and darkness on the surface: the elements, realized in Large and Small versions, seem to arise from the floor and to carry on the wall covering.
