Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has teamed up with illy, designing a reimagined version of the brand's coffee cups adorned with his artwork.

The illy Art Collection by Ai Weiwei is inspired by Weiwei's famed 2006 Coloured Vases project, and he commented 'I am very happy to be a part of illy Art Collection. I think it is very important to give power to art and design while drinking good coffee, because it affects everybody's life. We should enjoy it'.
