ILLY ART COLLECTION Coffee Set by Ron Arad – 6 Espresso Cup + 6 Saucers

For the creation of this illy Art Collection, artist Ron Arad has played with the idea of what can be found near a coffee cup, He elegantly transforms the memory of a cloth napkin into the sinuous lightness of silk. A light and transparent drape wraps the white porcelain of the illy cup, the result is a design that is both abstract and hauntingly realistic, an echo of something functional yet ornamental.
