Mutina, renowned for its excellence in design and ceramics,
presents “Tally”, a unique collection of terracotta bricks
created by designer Michael Anastassiades that reinterprets
the concept in a three-dimensional format, bringing
a modern and versatile approach to architectural design.
The name Tally refers to the “Tally marks” counting system, where groups of four vertical lines are crossed by a diagonal, a concept that Anastassiades translates into the geometry of the brick. This collection includes two distinctive models: “Wide”, divided by a single central line, and “Narrow”, which has four divisions.
Tally’ s design is based on an extruded square, divided into longitudinal sections that allow for a wide variety of configurations. The components of the collection can be assembled horizontally, vertically or in combinations of both directions, creating unique and customisable patterns that can be infinitely extended.
Piece size: 24 x 24 x 10 cm with 1/3 mm tolerance (Handmade product).
A key detail in Tally’ s design is that the outer frame of each piece is half the thickness of the internal lines that divide it. This geometric precision allows the bricks to be assembled with uniform spacing, generating repetitive and balanced visual patterns.
The Tally collection could be added to Mutina’s 3D collections, where different creatives reinterpret a new vision of the artisanal production process of roof tiles, bricks, hollow bricks and partitions, maintaining the tradition and the artisanal stamp.
With this collection, Mutina pushes the boundaries of architectural creativity, offering designers and architects a tool to bring unique and contemporary spaces to life. A collection based on its first ceramic collection “Fringe“, which combines functionality and aesthetics through the artisanal tradition of terracotta.
