Designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby join forces with Italian ceramic company Mutina on the new Rivington Table collection. The name is inspired by the Rivington Bar & Grill Restaurant, which is where the two designers had their first meeting with Mutina.
Now, ten years after the original meeting with five joint collections on their resume, the Rivington Tables are joining the Mutina Editions. This series features objects that are entirely made from ceramic by hand in Italy by talented master potters. The Rivington Table capsule is made up of five tables in total -- two of which are wall tables and three freestanding designs. All of them are made with cast molds and coated with colorful glazes.
