Coffee is the world’s most relished beverage and when it comes from an Italian premium brand like illy, it’s like an icing on the cake. The coffee brand that masters the art of designing cup and saucer is expanding its range of offerings with new limited edition pieces. The cup and saucer have been crafted by Bombay-born sculptor Anish Kapoor, who’s been living in London since 40 years.
The artist has used its unmatched approach and classic style to designing the cups and saucers that have metallic touch. These coffee pots have been designed in such a way that the cup and saucer catch and reflect light and create illusory designs that are a treat to watch.
By placing the platinum saucer with the hole in the center on top of the cup, which is also platinum, an impression of diffuse light is created whose dimensions are hard to fathom. The flickering reflections prevent the hollow space from being perceived instinctively,” as stated on the official website of illy.
This collection was designed by 70 celebrated artists of Kapoor’s team. These uniquely designed cups and saucer are available at $103 per set on eBay between September 14-27.
