Design studio Barber & Osgerby works together with the Italian ceramics imprint Mutina on the Time collection. It is a range aptly named as the main focus is to highlight the beauty of something created over time. Theoretically, it is also a nod to the partnership between the two as well.
The capsule is made up of porcelain stoneware tiles -- it comes in three size options 1.5×1.5”, 1.5×8”, or 8×8.” The color palette is comprised of eight tones: "Etna Black, Dakota Grey, Dover White, Salta Red, Highland Green, Virginia Blue, Sahara Sand, and Atlas Brown." The colors themselves are inspired by geography, landscape, and specific locations to bring forth rich tones. Finally, the last customized option includes a Smooth or Rough finish.
