Illy Cups & Glassware
Discover the illy Art Collection, launched in 1992
A passion for beauty and well-made objects, a deep admiration for contemporary art , and our blend’s exceptional quality all led us to combine coffee’s sensory pleasure with the aesthetic pleasure of art by rethinking an everyday object: the coffee cup. This is how the illy Art Collection was born in 1992. Over thirty years later, leading names in contemporary art, from great maestros to young talents, continue to find inspiration in the white porcelain surface. Together, we have created a unique collection of small works of art in the shape of a cup, numbered and signed, transforming the act of drinking an espresso into an experience that involves the senses and the mind.
