Description: Illycaffè is once again celebrating 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 largest sailing event.A student of Oskar Kokoschka and Emilio Vedova and founder of a multicultural design and architecture firm in Milan, Thun was inspired by the values of Barcolana to give his own personal interpretation to the iconic cup, which he originally designed himself in 1991. and has since become a blank canvas that can be customized by today's leading artists.From the pleasure of sailing the sea to the vibrancy of a city like Trieste, and from respect for inclusiveness to curiosity and spontaneity, Barcolana's DNA, its ambitions and its relationship with the participants are captured in a single image: a fingerprint colored by Matteo Thun on the cup that radiates the powerful optimism that human touch can spread worldwide. As a symbol on the poster of the 54th Barcolana, the lines of the fingerprint are reminiscent of a moving sea: current PLEASE NOTE YOU BUY ONE WITH SAUCER ,NEW IN BOX WITH BROCHURE
