illy Art Collection
BARCOLANA - Limited Edition
Once again illycaffè celebrates the historic Barcolana, the international sailing regatta symbol of Trieste, now in its 54th year, with a special illy Art Collection. Elegant, essential lines by Matteo Thun, the Italian architect and designer who was one of the co-founders of the legendary Memphis Group, symbolize an important edition of the regatta, finally back in full force after two years of pandemic, with all the magic of the world’s leading sailing event.
From the joy of sailing the seas to the liveliness of a city like Trieste, and from respect for inclusiveness to curiosity and spontaneity, the Barcolana’s DNA, its aspirations, and its relationship with the participants are captured in a single image: a fingerprint coloured by Matteo Thun on the cup that conveys the powerful optimism that the human touch can disseminate worldwide. As the symbol on the poster of the 54th Barcolana, the lines of the fingerprint recall a moving sea: currents bringing empathy and vitality that come together in a burst of joie-de-vivre and leave a beneficent impression on the planet.
This is how the new illy Art Collection Barcolana, through lines, colours, and words, invites everyone on a journey along new and unexplored routes – much like sailors driven by curiosity, so do positive human influxes sail confidently towards their destination: happiness.
