The illy Art Collection – Biennale Arte 2024 “Foreigners Everywhere” Limited Edition Cappuccino Cup Set represents a distinguished convergence of contemporary art, refined craftsmanship, and cultural significance. Created for the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale and curated by Adriano Pedrosa, this exclusive set features two 150 ml porcelain cappuccino cups with matching saucers, each bearing original artworks by internationally recognized artists Mahku and Paula Nicho.

Every cup in the illy Art Collection is conceived as a miniature museum piece. Individually signed and numbered, the pieces underscore their authenticity and collectible value, elevating them beyond functional objects and into the realm of contemporary art editions. Produced using high-grade porcelain, each cup undergoes meticulous hand-finishing—a process that may result in slight decorative variations, which are intrinsic to the artisanal craftsmanship and enhance the unique identity of each element.

illy’s longstanding commitment to responsible production is reflected in its B-Corp certification, awarded for exemplary performance in social, ethical, and environmental impact. The packaging is designed with respect for global sustainability standards, utilizing FSC-certified materials and eco-conscious printing processes.
