Fossile

Fossile


In 1992, art director and advertiser Paolo Rossetti (born 1960 in Milan) changed the ear of the illy cup in ... an ear as part of the first Arti e Mestierie set.

With the Fossile cup he replaces the decoration of the cup for the first time with a rough texture. This single cup was not released as a limited edition, but the cup is very popular.

As you can see on the picture beside, there have been more experiments with the Fossile cup that were never produced. But there is another Fossile cup which was released in a two cups amici collection set.
