Illy presents 2005 collection, designed by residents from Cittadellarte Unidee
Alfredo Luis Vasquez (Colombia), Natasha Jankovic (Serbia), Tatiana Goloviznina (Russia) and Fratelli Fortuna (a group of artists from Italy), residents at Unidee - University of Ideas at Fondazione Pistoletto, designed illy caffè collection 2005.
The collaboration between Cittadellarte and illycaffè, that has been on-going since 2000, was set up and developed within the Unidee in-residence programs to then extend to projects and forms of collaboration focusing on the relationship between research in art and the creativity of production. In fact, each year, the artists attending the in-residence program are invited to create and develop a project for the illy collection cups. The aim of the project is to highlight the possibility of conveying messages of social importance through a design product, following the motto that each product assumes a social responsibility.
Cittadellarte has already created the collections by Michelangelo Pistoletto, "Love difference", Rufus Willis and "No water, no coffee" by Maria Joäo Calisto. Once again, for the fifth year running, illy has invited Unidee residents to submit their ideas. The aim is to convey a socially meaningful message through a design product.
The results of this collaboration that has been going on for several years are the four original interpretations of the cup by residents in the 2000 and 2004 editions of Unidee.
