The well-known cup collections - Amici Collection and MOU Collection - are a characteristic feature of our company. The idea of collaborating with famous designers and artists came from our company founder, Francesco Illy.

For me, drinking coffee means taking a break, enjoying and often listening to relaxing music, consciously or unconsciously in the background in a Café.
