About illy Caffè:illy Caffè, founded in 1933 by Francesco Illy in Trieste, Italy, is a cornerstone of espresso history. We've been at the forefront of coffee innovation since the beginning. In 1935, Francesco Illy revolutionized the coffee world with the invention of the Illetta, a precursor to modern espresso machines. The Illetta was the first to separate water heating from steam pressure, laying the groundwork for contemporary espresso technology.
The creation of the Illetta was a significant milestone in our history, and the iperEspresso system continues this legacy by providing an easy, consistent way to enjoy professional-quality espresso at home.
Lee Ufan’s iconic strokes light up the surfaces of the cups in this illy Art Collection, a reference to the dense brush strokes of the “Winds” and “Correspondence” series. This Korean artist is highly respected and renowned for his minimalist sculptures and paintings, which focus on the viewer’s experiential engagement with the place for which they were created. Infinity is a central theme of Lee’s work, evidenced in his iconic series of paintings, where the artist elevates the process of applying colour to the canvas with minimalist brush strokes, lines or dots
Illy Art Collection
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 Collections are born: small works of art in the form of a cup, numbered and signed, transforming the act of drinking an espresso into an experience that involves the senses and mind.
