Designer Tiles

DZINE is excited to carry three Italian manufacturers of tile; Domenico Mori, Salvatori, and Mutina. The range in styles and materials varies between the manufacturers, but they all have in common a rich history in Italy and the production of high quality tile.

A family-run business composed of artistic craftsmen, Domenico Mori was founded in 1860. Domenico Mori, the founder's great grandson continues the company legacy, producing hand made tiles in small batches.

Piero Lissoni showcased Domenico Mori tiles in his Duemilaotto kitchen for Boffi. The tiles cover the hood of the kitchen. The off-white 1/2-inch thick tiles have a couple of different, subtle patterns on them that are artfully mixed to create a beautiful, unique hood that compliments and softens the clean lines of his kitchen design.

Salvatori Tile has been making a name for itself in the natural stone industry since the late 1940s. Salvatori demonstrates their interest in contemporary design through their unique floor and wall collections made with their range of natural stone materials. They are an innovative company, always researching new design possibilities and looking for new materials.

Salvatori was showcased by architect John Pawson in his "House of Stone" exhibition for the 2010 Think Tank Exhibition, Milan. Pawson built a house using Lithoverde from Salvatori that was cut with meticulous accuracy. The structure was lit with LED lighting to enhance the simplicity of the architecture and the texture of the stone.

Lithoverde is the only natural stone in the world comprised of over 98% post-industrial material. Stone scraps are layered to form a block which is then infused with soy-based poly-amid binder to strongly bind the layers together. The block is then just like any other stone, it can be cut into slab or tiles, or carved for various other multi-dimensional products.


Mutina is a young company but boasts a history in the production of ceramics for over 30 years. Since 2006, a team of young managers has given the company new energy and challenges.

Mutina's collections are characterized by hand-crafted details that enhance the qualities of the materials used. Graphic themes, plain, multicolored offerings allow for tailor made tile arrangements and the possibility to combine and interchange tiles from various ranges. Mutina is constantly updating it's catalog to stay current with design trends.

"Folded" Tile Design by Raw Edges

Mutina works with several notable designers to provide new and interesting designs. Patricia Urquiola and Tokujin Yoshioka are just two of the designers that Mutina employs. Patricia Urquiola designed the Dechirer collection for Mutina. The collection explores the expressive potential of ceramics, incorporating patterns and colors that are inspired by the nature and the consistency of concrete.

Tokujin Yoshioka designed the Phenomenon collection for Mutina. Yoshioka was inspired by the irregular patterns and textures found in nature, which is reflected in the unique textures of the tiles. The white color emphasizes the intriguing depth and dimension in the tiles.

Piero Lissoni's Apartment Featured in DDN Magazine

Piero Lissoni's apartment was featured in DDN magazine Issue 167.

Light bathes the ample space of the apartment designed in Milan by architect Piero Lissoni.  It is located on the top floor of a Rationalist building from the 1940's, in an area of the city with a specific identity rooted in the homogeneity and severity of the architecture of that period.  The apartment occupies the entire floor and is open on all four sides, enjoying a full 360 degree view, where the light that enters through the large windows and glass doors determines the quality of the spaces.  Its location on the top floor makes this apartment feel like a single family home on 200 square meters, surrounded by the sky.  The two walls that lead to the terraces, 50 square meters each, were replaced by glass panels, giving the impression of living in a house.  The outer perimeter walls were preserved, but inside all the partitions that divided the existing apartments were demolished to create a single space, where the sleeping area is distinct from the living area.  The entrance door opens directly onto the living room: on one side it leads to the sleeping area and on the other to the living and dining room, and kitchen.  The entire apartment creates a sense of order and continuity.  The atmosphere of the home is distinguished by the style that Piero Lissoni brings to his design products as well: total respect for the human scale and for proportion, to create a balance between solids and voids, making the space essential, but not commonplace.   

The strictly white floors and walls highlight the objects that tell the personal story of its inhabitant, along with the furniture, chosen specifically for its importance to the history of design.  The result is an absolutely contemporary, but not trendy, home.  There is very little furniture designed by Piero Lissoni, leaving much more space for the great designers: Le Corbusier, Achille Castiglioni, Ettore Sottssas, Poul Kjaerholm, George Nelson, Hans J. Wegner.  Ethnic furniture and antiques are positioned with extreme care to enhance their value and their beauty.  The living and dining room open with sliding doors onto the terrace; at the center of the living room stands the fireplace, underplayed by the projecting white brick wall.  The other terrace is accessible from the bedroom, where the absence of curtains creates a total relationship with the outdoors and makes it possible to enjoy the light and the view of the city.  The kitchen looks like a laboratory that turns ingredients into food.  The man of the house likes to cook and have everything he needs at arm's length, therefore special attention was focused on the functionality.  The kitchen is adjacent to the dining area: the regularity of the space is emphasized by the square table standing at the center of the space.
