Azulej - Porcelain Tile designed by Patricia Urquiola for Mutina DescriptionAzulej is a series of glazed porcelain tile designed by Patricia Urquiola for Mutina. Azulej won the 2013 Wallpaper Design Award for Best Trend.The collection's material composition, which is inspired by hydraulic cement, combined with its digital print glazing, offers a modern take on ancient handcrafted majolica tiles. Tonal variations in the glaze, as well as the layered complexity of the patterns themselves, reference the handcrafted nature of classic majolica. The horizontal, vertical and diagonal patterns furnish versatility in application -- supporting patchwork compositions or carefully constructed repeats.
