Tally, designed by Michael Anastassiades for Mutina, is an architectural terracotta block system created through the extrusion of a square form divided into longitudinal sections. Conceived as a three-dimensional evolution of Anastassiades’ earlier Fringe collection, Tally functions as a sculptural element that can be assembled horizontally, vertically, or in mixed orientations to generate endless modular patterns.
The name references “tally marks,” the visual counting system of four vertical strokes crossed by a diagonal fifth. In the same way, Tally arranges predefined linear groups to build extendable, repeating geometries.
The collection includes two models:
Tally Wide — divided in two by a single central line
Tally Narrow — divided into four slender vertical segments
Because the outer frame of each piece is exactly half the thickness of its internal dividers, the blocks achieve perfect visual alignment when installed, resulting in surfaces that read like a visual code or architectural script.
Artisanally produced in extruded terracotta, Tally has a warm, natural texture with subtle surface variation. It can be used both indoors and outdoors to create partitions, room dividers, screens, and semi-transparent architectural walls—suited for residential, commercial, and hospitality environments. Eight official laying schemes support both highly graphic and minimal compositions.
The result is a versatile architectural element that brings rhythm, material warmth, and contemporary craftsmanship to any space.
