Mutina — designer ceramics for the arrival and the boardroom, brought to India by La Mercanti

Corporate reception in India with Mutina designer ceramic floor and feature wall

In an Indian corporate lobby, the surface is read before the visiting card is offered. Mutina is built for that reading: founded in 2005 in Fiorano Modenese, Italy's historic ceramic district, it brought the world's leading designers to porcelain stoneware for the first time. Patricia Urquiola, Konstantin Grcic, Barber & Osgerby, the Bouroullec brothers, Vincent Van Duysen, Tokujin Yoshioka — the names behind museum pieces, here signing floors and walls. Every surface is made entirely in Italy by master potters, and Mutina for Art keeps contemporary art at the centre. Since 2024, Mutina is a member of Altagamma.

For a company it lands where impressions are made: the reception that receives clients and partners, the executive washroom, the MD cabin, the boardroom, the café and dining area, the outdoor arrival. Floors, wall surfaces, three-dimensional pieces and exterior lines — where the surface carries prestige, Mutina is the difference between a good office and a memorable one.

La Mercanti brings these surfaces into Indian corporate projects together with the furniture, with samples reviewed before the specification is signed.

FAQ

Why choose «museum» ceramics for an office over standard vitrified tile?

Because the surface of a lobby or a boardroom is the first thing a client reads, and Mutina signs it with the designers behind museum work — Urquiola, Grcic, Bouroullec, Van Duysen. It is more than looks: porcelain stoneware made in Italy by master potters, built to carry public traffic for decades. A commodity tile disappears; an authored surface becomes how the company presents itself. La Mercanti selects it and folds it into the project with the furniture.

Where does Mutina earn its place across a corporate floor — and where not?

Where people arrive, wait and decide: reception, MD cabin, boardroom, executive washroom, café, outdoor. There a surface becomes prestige. In corridors, utility areas or back-of-house it is spend no one sees.

Bringing Mutina into a corporate project: five steps with La Mercanti

For architects, PMC teams and admin heads: how a prestige ceramic pays off — from the spaces worth the spend to installation.

Map the spaces that represent the company

Mutina earns its place where the company shows itself: reception, MD cabin, boardroom, executive washroom, café, outdoor. Mark those surfaces first; the rest of the floor stays standard. It separates impression from scattered spend.

Pick the signature by the register of the room

Each Mutina designer has a voice: Urquiola warm and material, Grcic graphic, the Bouroullecs geometric, Van Duysen architectural. Choose the collection for the character of the space, not the prettiest sample alone.

Choose the surface for the function

Floor, wall surface, three-dimensional piece for a divider, exterior line: Mutina covers them all. The choice follows use — traffic, washroom moisture, outdoor exposure — before aesthetics.

Coordinate ceramic with furniture

Surface and furniture must agree. La Mercanti moves surfaces and furniture as one scheme — nothing left to argue on site.
