The Cups

By

Coffee time just got way more chic with the launch of famed coffee brand illy’s new Cups designed by world-renowned artist Ai Weiwei. The simple yet impactful design nod to China’s systematic destruction of history and culture, and draws inspiration from Weiwei’s Colored Vases (2006): ancient Neolithic vases dipped into paint, creating a distortion of appearance and a reimagined function.
