The 15-th of illy Art collections

The newest illy Art Collection, designed by young German artist Michael Beutler, is inspired by works that the artist created using the ancient Japanese art of origami.

Beutler was the winning artist of the illy Present Future 2005 prize, an award for young contemporary artists established by illy and Artissima, the international contemporary art exhibition held in Turin. Each year, the winning emerging artist receives a cash award as well as the opportunity to present a project to decorate an illy Art Collection which is created for worldwide distribution.

The illy Art Collection created by Michael Beutler is available online at www.illyusa.com in packages of six cups for $120.
