Tiffany & Co. pop-up store and café lights up Miami
This unique space in Miami offers an ideal showcase for the exceptional jewelry and elegant lifestyle synonymous with the Tiffany & Co. House.
Tiffany & Co. has opened a holiday pop-up store and café in the heart of the Miami Design District, just a few steps from the jeweler’s iconic boutique. Artists Kai & Sunny transformed a façade in emblematic Tiffany Blue with vibrant colors, inviting visitors to discover a selection of the House’s jewelry creations and enjoy coffee served in Tiffany & Co. cups. The pop-up and café remain open through January 31, 2023.
Tiffany & Co. has been intimately linked with the art world since the very beginnings of the famed jewelry house. Founder Charles Lewis Tiffany was one of the first patrons of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his son Louis Comfort Tiffany was a pioneer in the American Art Nouveau movement. Tiffany & Co. carries on its long tradition of dialogue with artists by commissioning British duo Kai & Sunny to decorate the façade of its holiday pop-up. Their colorful palette of fluid and dynamic lines evoke freedom, renewal and change, transforming the building into a full-fledged artwork. Inaugurated during Art Basel, the space is a must for all those who share a passion for artistic creativity.
Inside, visitors discover this year’s Christmas campaign featuring designs by Andy Warhol. Busts showcasing high jewelry creations are accompanied by a display of his quote: “More than anything people just want stars.” His words certainly resonated at the opening, attended by friends of the brand including Hailey Bieber, J Balvin and Pharrell Williams. The stunning Tiffany & Co. jewelry presented includes the Tiffany Lock collection, a new icon for everyone which guests can try on before or after enjoying delectable delights from the café.
Tiffany & Co. pays homage to Andy Warhol for holiday season
In 1957, Tiffany & Co. commissioned Andy Warhol to illustrate a series of greeting cards, an artistic collaboration that continued until 1962. Sixty-five years later, the storied jeweler renowned for its exceptional collections and luxe art de vivre has delved into its archives, taking inspiration from the artist’s colorful creations for an exceptional limited-edition gift collection.
A true ode to beauty, this year’s Tiffany & Co. gifts, wrapped in the iconic blue boxes, fuse the celebration of the art world with the art of giving. Dessert plates, porcelain vide poches, playing cards, greeting cards, the ornaments feature Andy Warhol’s original illustrations for the American Maison. Fir trees, magic stars, boughs of holly and bottles of champagne invite you to gather and celebrate.
“This holiday season, we wanted to celebrate Andy Warhol by taking inspiration from the iconic greeting cards that he created for our clients in the ’50s and ‘60s,” says Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President, Product and Communication. “The campaign video brings these elements together by paying homage to our longstanding relationship with one of the world’s most celebrated artists.”
For the launch of this Tiffany & Co. x Andy Warhol campaign, the luxury brand also collaborated with contemporary artists. Mario Sorrenti, a well known contemporary art photographer, directed the campaign film, paying tribute to the Downtown Factory, and captured the campaign imagery featuring Brand Ambassador Hailey Bieber. A mountain of Blue Boxes reveals dazzling diamonds, an Elsa Peretti Bone cuff or a Bird on a Rock brooch by Jean Schlumberger, all sparkling in the night in a tribute to Andy Warhol’s boundless creativity.
