bullet10/07/05:  Additional Schnabel Collection picture!

The third "In Principio" collection will be available in late November and here is the preview of the cup.

The new Pistoletto Foundation collection is now available through illy usa web site.

bullet9/29/05: Schnabel's series of seven porcelain cups and saucers for illy features his longtime inspiration, the surfer-themed character named Chuck. There are five espresso cups, each labeled a different weekday, and each sporting Chuck wearing a new expression. The "Saturday" and "Sunday" cups are full-size mugs, again featuring Chuck, perhaps suggesting more time to relax and enjoy one's favorite coffee. Keeping with the surf theme, the cups come packaged in a Schnabel-designed life preserver.  Julian Schnabel's espresso cup collection will include the five weekday cups and one can of illy coffee, and will retail for $160. The Mug Collection, including Schnabel's two weekend mugs and one can of illy coffee, will retail for $60. Both sets will be available on www.illyusa.com starting October 26th
