North Six designed and produced the illy Café booth at the inaugural Art Basel Paris. Taking place at the Grand Palais, the lounge featured the new illy Art Collection designed by artists Simone Fattal, Shirin Neshat, Monica Bonvicini, and Binta Diaw.
These four artists used the illy cup to highlight urgent cultural, environmental, and social issues, sharing their experiences as women from diverse geographical and social backgrounds. Speaking to the condition of women worldwide through the language of contemporary art.
The design featured a bespoke espresso bar with USM Haller as well as a mural scale installation of the artworks and ceramics. The central wall also highlighted the historical span of illy’s artistic collaborations, featuring the original designs of artists such as Louise Bourgeoisie, William Kentridge and Yayoi Kusama. A series of cups that, since 1992, has become one of the largest contemporary art collections globally.
