Indian offices rarely lack ambition; they lack wall. Compact receptions, lift lobbies, corridor ends — surfaces of a few square meters that still have to announce the company. Rombini in the Extra Small profile is built for exactly that job: eight slim battens on every mesh sheet, a 2 cm rib repeating at pencil spacing, so even a narrow wall reads as crafted architecture rather than leftover paint.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec drew the triangular profile for Mutina in three scales — the dense Extra Small at 16 mm thick, Small and Large at 22 — with ten glazes across matt, gloss and crackle. Pressed in a dedicated 3D mould and mounted on mesh, the battens also follow curved surfaces, and purpose-made Terminal and Listello pieces close every edge. The collection carries the Archiproducts Design Award 2016.
Performance is quietly reassuring for high-use lobbies: ISO 10545 stain resistance in class 5, acids and alkalis at A-B, and a LEED v4.1 declaration of 64% recycled material. La Mercanti ships Rombini to Indian projects with sampling sorted upfront — sample costs fully credited on order confirmation.
