illy and contemporary art. In pursuit of the ideal of good, goodness and beauty.
CONTEMPORARY ART
Good, goodness and beauty: the illy way
Kalòs kài agathòs – beauty and goodness – were the two aspects of perfection in Ancient Greek culture. And the concept that underpins illy’s rapport with art. The pursuit of excellence that brings together balance and elegance, beauty and goodness, ethics and aesthetics.
BRAND STORY
