Illymind

Lounge area sponsored by Illy at Biennale di Venezia 2003

Illymind – 50° BIENNALE D’ARTE DI VENEZIA
Arsenale di Venezia
15 June – 2 November 2003

The well known company Illy Caffè has sponsored some lounge areas along the site of Arsenale in the Venice Biennale. These areas have been inspired by the typical Italian culture of resting and taking coffee. Cliostraat, the firm in charge, has involved us in developing the concept: we simply transformed the famous red square logo of Illy Caffè in something habitable.

Project by: Alessandra Raso, Alessandra Esposito, Cristina Casula, Stefano Mirti, Matteo Pastore, Luca Poncellini, Matteo Raso, Stefano Testa (CLIOSTRAAT) with: Marguerite Kahrl, Daniele Mancini (UNPACKED), Eyal Fried.
