Illy | Art Collection

A Canvas for Global Voices

The Illy Art Collection is more than a collector’s item—it is a cultural dialogue. Each collaboration opens a window into new worlds, inviting art enthusiasts and coffee connoisseurs alike to reflect on heritage, identity, and expression. The 2024 Biennale edition highlights this vision, presenting the evocative Art Collection Biennale 2024 set 2 espresso cups designed by Aycoobo and Rember Yahuarcani, who channel the richness of Amazonian traditions into a bold visual narrative.

The Illy Art Collection cups become miniature canvases—touchable, usable artworks that elevate the espresso moment.
