Designed by Konstantin Grcic for Mutina Ceramiche, DIN represents a complete new way of conceiving a modern mosaic.
The collection is conceived in a strictly modular logic that allows to play with the elements and offers a wide scope of possible applications, from simple concepts to the most complex ones, demonstrating an almost unlimited flexibility. DIN presents 4 elements in the sizes, declined in a range of 8 colours and 2 finishes, matt and glossy.
The possibility to combine several formats, textures and colours guarantees not only a great creative potential, but also that the tile pattern can be adapted to the dimension of a specific wall or floor. DIN also develops into the third dimension, offering a range of elements for angles and profiles that allow to create innovative architectural solutionsand furnishing.
