illy Art Collection celebrates its 30 years of beauty
Features
The book that brings together 30 years of beauty.
In 1992, a group of artists unleashed their creativity on the surface of the espresso cup designed for illy by Matteo Thun. This was the birth of the first illy Art Collection, which transformed an everyday object into a blank canvas on which 125 internationally famous artists have made their mark over the years, from established masters to young talents. 30 years later, stars of contemporary art continue to find inspiration in its white porcelain surface: together, we have created a unique collection of miniature works of art in the form of the iconic illy espresso cup.
