Cover Nube Black

Cover marks one of Patricia Urquiola’s first ventures with large ceramic slabs. The collection came about from an experimental project using the Continua Plus technology. The clay is blended with a mixture of micro-grit, which is then used as a base for the coloured patterns applied using the silk-screen method. These may be irregular, figurative or geometric. This technology was necessary in order to obtain a compact material with powders, grains and flakes, without the addition of colour or digital applications. To pursue this objective, Mutina has carried out specific research that makes Cover a unique product in the field of large ceramic slabs. In the basic version, the collection consists of unglazed porcelain stoneware body (UGL), while in the versions decorated using the silk-screen method, the bodies are glazed (GL). Mutina recommends a joint of 2 mm to achieve a perfectly modular layout.
