illy espresso cup collection by Michael Beutler

An explosion of color decorates this illy art collection of six espresso cups and saucers by artist Michael Beutler, winner of the 2005 Artissima illy Present Future award. Beutler's design for illy was inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Origami—paper folding—and reflects the recurring theme of warping and folding found in his elaborate and expansive sculptural installations. Beautifully gift-boxed with a Beutler collection brochure.
