Design by Vincent Van Duysen

In Japanese language, yama means mountain. This is how Vincent Van Duysen calls the new project forming part of Mutina Editions, an ode to the strength of nature and its transforming force. The architect has taken inspiration from the pebbles which, carried by the current of rivers flowing from the highland peaks to the valley, are shaped into soft, sensual shapes.
Yama focuses on the concept of reduction, reproducing the effect of a stone cut by man in different phases, as an hom-age to the work of designer and sculptor Isamu Noguchi.

The collection is made in porcelain stoneware with the manual casting technique, creating a range of five stamped and numbers design objects – Yama A in 18x18 cm format, Yama B in 18x35 cm format, Yama C, Yama D and Yama E in 35x35 cm format, offered singularly or as a set – that share the same language. They are enigmatic artifacts, with a strong sculptural presence, decorative in their revealing simplicity.
