Description
"Fossil: a mysterious fish fin, a nautilus shell and marks you cannot decipher by looking at them, but which you can run your fingers over. Paolo Rossetti appeals to your sense of touch as you sip a coffee, with a cup to explore with your eyes closed. The master of advertising shuffles different elements and unsettles the ordinary concept of times, giving us a white wordless horizon and a tactile sensation capable of taking us back to the dawn of time." - Illy, official website
