Unveiling Ronan Bouroullec’s Innovative Designs for Mutina

As mentioned previously, the Centre Pompidou (find more here) exhibition dedicated to Ronan Bouroullec (find more here) features a range of unreleased products created for Mutina, including Adagio, a modular wall installation adaptable to various scales and contexts. The lattice structure of Adagio recalls fabric patterns, with its three-dimensionality accentuated by element overlap. Its name, inspired by musical time, emphasizes the slow and deliberate application of each piece, following a sophisticated interlocking pattern.

In addition to Adagio, three new editions are on display: Camino, Camini, and Candeliere. Camino and Camini are collections that blend cylindrical vases in anodized aluminum with ceramic elements outlining the supporting structure. Candeliere, on the other hand, is a modular-based lighting support capable of creating diverse combinations. The initial structure consists of multiple cylinders joined by ceramic parallelepipeds serving as connecting elements.
