Tobias Rehberger

illy Art Collection by Tobias Rehberger

This special limited edition illy Art Collection was designed by Tobias Rehberger to mark the 53rd International Art Exhibition (Venice Biennale). Rehberger was chosen by Daniel Birnbaum, the director of the 53rd exhibition, to design the bar and restaurant inside the new exhibition building in the Biennale gardens.

The new individual illy Art Collection espresso cup designed by Rehberger treats the white surface of the espresso cup, designed by Matteo Thun, as a blank canvas, decorating it with optical effects and patterns. The cup and matching saucer create a fascinating visual impact that stimulates the observer to make sense of the patterns. The idea is beautifully absorbed into the interior of the bar and restaurant in the new exhibition building, where the cup is almost camouflaged, a hidden element of an unusual and captivating game, yet part of a unique, complete overall design.
