Tobias Rehberger
German sculptural artist Tobian Rehberger creates multi-dimensional, multi-media phenomena that alter the visual perception of objects and spaces. He is interested in what people think is visible, but which may or may not be illusion. For his Illy coffee cups, Rehberger utilized the cups and saucers almost like miniature architectural elements, embellishing them with optical designs that tease the eye while magnifying the presence of the cups as objects in space.

Illy Espresso Cups For Sale
German artist Michael Beutler creates installations that completely inhabit architectural spaces, transforming them into confrontational environments that seem to have meaning, but which also appear to be abstract. His Illy coffee cup collection is inspired by the ancient art of origami, which transforms a two-dimensional surface into a three-dimensional construction. Here he has translated that concept; expressing the natures of both surface and object by utilizing the inherent two and three-dimensionality of cup and saucer to support his design.

Michelangelo Pistoletto
Since the 1960s, Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto has incorporated mirrored surfaces into his artworks. The mirror is a simple and direct way to incorporate viewers and their surroundings into the work. A surface with a mirrored strip running through it can be seen as abstract, and yet in a playful way it becomes figurative as soon as a viewer steps in front of it, as it now contains a perfectly realistic vision of the human form. For his Illy coffee cups, Pistoletto created a subtle representation of this core concept, adding simple mirrored segments to his cups and saucers, which allow the aesthetic vision of the surfaces to constantly change, depending on their environment.

Michael Lin
Tokyo-born, Taiwanese artist Michael Lin often engages images of flowers in his efforts to transform public spaces. His monumental installations fill the visual space with overwhelming bursts of color and patterns. For his Illy coffee cups, Lin adapted that same aesthetic approach to a much smaller scale, transforming the volume of the cup and saucer into an intimate, pink, floral space.
