Braccia, arti, piedi, parti


Arms, Legs, Feet, Parts is the first illy collection for cappuccino cups. There is a bar cup version too, but the cups were not released as espresso sized cups.

With abandoned bodies and hands looking for each other, Andrea Manetti (born in Milan in 1964) made femininity the fundamental theme of this beautiful series. However, this touch of sensuality, shown on the cups through body parts, was the reason that in the US some cups were withdrawn from the market. Maybe that's why the 1997 Ettore Sottsass cups were never released as illy collection.
