Ron Arad
Cup Collection

 

The new illy Art Collection, created in collaboration with Ron Arad, plays with what is often found near a coffee cup. A tablecloth is transformed into an imaginary silk drape, light and sinuous, placed randomly on the cup and saucer. The design that takes shape sums up the pleasure of drinking a coffee - a little ritual in our everyday lives.
