The immersive show will bring visitors on a visual journey through hundreds of the House’s design masterworks, Tiffany’s legendary diamonds and breathtaking wonders, each telling a story of craft and creativity, heritage and modernity.
Tiffany Wonder will intrigue, educate and inspire visitors with displays ranging from one-of-a-kind creations and Jean Schlumberger’s emblematic Bird on a Rock brooch and revolutionary innovations to relics of pop culture and iconic jewellery: the Tiffany Diamond.
“Tiffany & Co. has been inspired by Japan for decades and the House’s authentic connection and extensive history in the region has only continued to grow,” said Anthony Ledru, President & Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co. “Our latest exhibition showcases some of Tiffany’s most exceptional creations including the first Bird on a Rock brooch from 1965 designed by one of the 20th century’s most gifted designers, Jean Schlumberger. Uplifting the exceptional craftmanship, unparalleled diamond authority and inventiveness of Tiffany, the exhibition will bring the joy of the House to every visitor.”
Tiffany & Co.’s relationship with Japan dates to its earliest days in operation, in 1837, when Charles Lewis Tiffany began offering his clients select imported Japanese goods, a rare offering in the American market. Many of the House’s best-known designers, including Edward C. Moore, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Elsa Peretti, found inspiration for their work in the arts of Japan. A celebration of respect and creativity, various aspects of the exhibition are dedicated to the ways in which Tiffany & Co. is indebted to Japan.
