illycaffè Partners With The National Gallery
The al alfresco café will exclusively serve illy coffee throughout the summer until 30 September 2021 . The opening of the café coincides with the launch of an outdoor exhibition in Trafalgar Square showcasing over 20 life-sized replicas of some of the most famous and treasured paintings in the National Gallery's collection. Running from 3 of August to 2 of September 2021 , the open-air exhibition will be part of London's Inside Out Festival – a celebration of art and culture produced to encourage visitors back into London's West End.
Visitors to The National Gallery will also be able to enjoy illy coffee at the illy Espresso Bar inside the Gallery until 30 September 2021 . Here, alongside illy classics such as the eponymous Italian espresso, coffee lovers can also expect specials such as illy's Cold Brew, a 100% Arabica coffee cold brewed for 12 hours, which is naturally sweet, thirst quenching and offers a uniquely refreshing taste.
As part of the partnership illycaffè will also be supporting the upcoming Kehinde Wiley exhibition, which runs from 10 December 2021–18 April 2022.
Massimiliano Pogliani , CEO of illycaffè, comments:
Everything that is "made in illy" is about beauty and art, the founding principles of the brand, starting from its logo, designed by artist
James Rosenquist , to illy Art Collection cups, decorated by over 100 international artists including Marina Abramovic, Louis Bourgeois,
Mark Quinn and, most recently, Ai Weiwei.
