illy - Piero Lissoni - Coffee maker - 642 - Plastic - Illy coffee machine

Illy is a historic Italian company specializing in coffee production; founded in 1933 in Trieste, today it ranks among the world leaders in the sector. Piero Lissoni is another Made in Italy pride: an architect, designer and art director known on the international scene, over his career he has received numerous prestigious awards.

Well, from the partnership between Illy and Piero Lissoni a compact, easy-to-use coffee machine was born, characterized by an elegant and minimalist design. This is the Illy Y3 coffee machine designed, as the name itself suggests, primarily for Generation Y (i.e., those born between 1980 and 2000).

Presented at the Salone del Mobile 2017, Illy Y3 is only 10 cm wide, imagine that. The height is 29.8 cm, the depth 25.4 cm.

The Y3 from Illy represents the perfect blend between refined design and functionality. Created by the renowned architect Piero Lissoni, this compact machine stands out for its essential and versatile lines, capable of integrating gracefully into any kitchen. Thanks to the exclusive Iperespresso technology, you can enjoy at home a coffee of superior quality, with that richness of aroma and body that characterizes the Illy method. A sophisticated addition that transforms your daily coffee ritual.
