Product detailed description

Illy Art Collection Ai Weiwei porcelain cappuccino cups with saucers 4 x 160 ml

This collection by world-renowned Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei is one of the most striking works in the illy Art Collection project. If you are considering purchasing or looking for details on this set, here is an overview of what makes it special.

Ai Weiwei drew inspiration for this collection from his famous work "Coloured Vases" (2006). The artist took ancient Neolithic vases and dipped them in cans of industrial paint, creating a clash between millennia of history and modern mass production.

The cups have a minimalist but striking design. They are covered in rich, opaque colors that look as if the cups have been freshly dipped in them. A set of 4 cups usually combines bold shades (e.g. blue, pink, green, yellow or orange). Made of high- quality porcelain with excellent thermal insulation properties.

The 160 ml volume is ideal for cappuccino, flat white or extended espresso.

The set is part of a numbered collection, making it an ideal gift for collectors and design lovers.

Made in the EU.
