OLIMPIA ZAGNOLI: THE NEW ILLY ART COLLECTION

The new illy Art Collection tells a story of sisterhood.

These sisters meet at a coffee shop. They are not really sisters, but they are as good as family. These women, with their different personalities, meet for coffee and cake. They talk and laugh, sometimes they disagree, but they always enjoy sharing.

A conversation with six voices, talking about the future: six personalities, six colors, bringing a unique point of view.

Olimpia Zagnoli is an Italian illustrator known all over the word. She was born in Reggio Emilia, and thanks to the innovative approach of the schools in that area, she actually started exploring her creativity as early as kindergarten. Later she moved to Milan where she her took her first steps in illustration. In New York she began collaborating with publications like the New York Times. She began to establish her style, and her soft forms and choice of just a few bright colours pay homage as much to Futurism as to the Beatles. She has collaborated with illy on various projects, including this new Illy Art Collection, exploring her world through a dialogue between six female figures.
