It features large windows to integrate the indoor space with it’s location and surrounding environment. Inside, the space is fitted out with a chandelier and displays of the history of the illy Art Collectiont. At the centre of the café, is the large bar counter that combines a white marble counter-top with the illy-red front. Next to the entrance is a mosaic depicting Xanti Schawinsky’s famous 1934 ad for illycaffè.
The use of natural, sustainable materials such as wood and of warm coffee tones gives the premises a relaxed and elegant ambiance, ideal for an artistic, contemporary café. Here patrons can experience illy while admiring the iconic skyline of the city’s most futuristic neighbourhood.
“This new cafè illy expresses the personality and philosophy of our brand. It is one more establishment in the city where the public can enjoy an illy coffee while immersing themselves in the interests and passions inextricably tied to it: art, culture, design, and the utmost quality,” commented Cristina Scocchia, CEO of illycaffè.
The illy City Life menu features an array of coffee-based beverages, snacks and small dishes throughout the day. So that clients may enjoy the illy experience at home, the café features a retail corner with a selection of illy products: coffee machines, limited-edition cups, breakfast accessories, chocolate, tea, and fruit preserves.
Opening hours: every day from 8:00 to 21.00
