Product description
Travel the world with a cup of coffee in hand, thanks to this unique illy Art Collection by Robert Rauschenberg. Designed by one of the founders of Pop Art, this 1998 set transforms your daily coffee ritual into an artistic journey of discovery. Known for his use of everyday objects in his art, Rauschenberg decorated the cups and saucers with fragments of city maps. A collage of cities: From the streets of Manhattan to the avenues of Moscow, from Rio de Janeiro to Rome, and from Mexico City to Beijing, each cup and saucer depicts a different metropolis. Presented as collages, the maps invite you to wander the streets and discover your own routes. A tribute to travel and connection: This collection embodies the idea of travel and an increasingly interconnected world. The simple objects—cup and saucer—become vehicles for a larger narrative, stimulating your imagination with every sip. A turbulent history: Originally, the collection also included a "Paris" cup with a "Madrid" saucer. Unfortunately, these had to be discontinued due to copyright issues with the Michelin maps used. Features: Designed by Robert Rauschenberg, a Pop Art icon. Set of 5 espresso cups and saucers. Each cup and saucer depicts a different city. Collage-style designs with city maps. Signature of the artist.
