Ten years with one maker: Barber & Osgerby's Time collection tells the story

Consistency is the rarest credential: Time, the latest of four ceramic collections by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for Mutina, was conceived to mark a decade of collaboration with the same maker — after Puzzle, Lane and Primavera. The East London duo, architecture graduates of the Royal College of Art and partners since 1996, also designed the 2012 Olympic Torch, the Tip Ton chair and Vitra's Soft Work system; both were appointed OBE in 2013, with work in the V&A and the Met.

La Mercanti brings that ten-year partnership to Indian projects: Puzzle and Time floors for lobbies built to last, logistics handled.
