Start your morning right with this very special and most beautiful illy set!

illy Art Collection 2021 - Mona Hatoum 2 Espresso Cups & Saucers. A stunning, stand-out limited-edition, signed and numbered set.

The new illy Art Collection by Mona Hatoum is a game of shapes and colors that resembles the typical motif of the Kefiah: the traditional Arabian headdress, nestled between fishing nets and olive leaves. A formal reinterpretation that depicts a heartfelt story about work, sacrifice and interpersonal relationships.

Mona Hatoum: Born into a Palestinian family in Beirut, she settled in London in 1975 after civil war broke out in Lebanon while she was on a short visit to Britain. Hatoum first became widely known in the mid 1980s for a series of performances and video works that focused with great intensity on the body.

In the early 1990s, her work shifted towards large-scale installations and sculptures that aimed to engage the viewer by kindling conflicting emotions of desire and repulsion, fear and fascination.
