illy makes another artistic statement by launching a new cup set as part of its extensive illy art collection, which already includes a plethora of coffee cups and saucers created by celebrated artists from around the globe since 1992, the year of the line’s launch. Being one of the artistic illy cups and resonating with the collection’s philosophy (the creator’s style gets splashed on the cup of an unchanged traditional shape), the new piece by a duo of contemporary Turkish artists, Yasemin Baydar and Birol Demir, :mentalKLINIK stands out by its origin since it’s the first ever co-curated cup.

While the Stella Artois lager brand is celebrating cinema spirit with its promotional initiatives ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, Grolsch has stepped into the art-house filmmaking world with its Grolsch Film Works production platform, doing its part in supporting independent movies. The Dutch beer brand, which launched the platform back in April 2011, last fall announced that a new film, which was to merge creative visions of three directors (from Russia, Poland and the USA) went under production. The new experimental film titled ‘The Fourth Dimension,’ funded by Grolsch and created in partnership with Vice Films, finally premiered last weekend at the San Francisco International Film Festival.
