Product description
illy Venice Biennale Espresso and Cappuccino Cup SetFour artistic designs and two different sizes you need to distinguish
Every year, illy invites artists to create designs for its cups, and this edition is linked to the 2024 Venice Biennale. Four different designs on white ceramic: green with trees and a parrot, colorful floral patterns, a brown gradient, and a black background with human figures. Choose the size, quantity, and design from the menu, and each cup comes with its saucer.
Read this before choosing: the difference between the two sizes
The espresso cup and the cappuccino cup are two completely different sizes, not two designs of the same cup. The espresso cup is small with thick walls to retain the heat of a small amount and highlight the crema, while the cappuccino cup is much wider with a broader opening to hold frothed milk and allow latte art. If you drink cappuccino and order an espresso cup, it will not hold your drink. Check the size first, then choose the design.
Which option suits you
| Option | Suitable for | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Single espresso cup | Anyone who drinks espresso and wants one piece | Cup and saucer |
| Single cappuccino cup | Anyone who drinks cappuccino or latte | Wider cup and saucer |
| Box of two cups | Gifts and shared use | Two cups and two saucers in a box |
| Set of four | Hosting and groups | Four cups and four saucers |
Three things that make it different
Art edition tied to a specific year
The illy Art Collection changes with every edition, so the cups become collectible pieces for enthusiasts, not just drinking vessels.
Ceramic that retains heat
Thick walls help preserve the drink's heat without transferring any flavor, which is especially important for espresso because the small amount cools quickly.
Gift-ready packaging
The box options come in illy packaging with a subtle color gradient, so no additional wrapping is needed.
Care and availability
The artwork lasts longer when washed by hand in lukewarm water, while the dishwasher will fade the colors over time. Do not put it in the microwave. Since this is a limited edition, some designs sell out before others, and the available options are the ones shown in the menu above.
