Tiffany & Co. has opened the doors to a newly transformed Taikoo Li flagship in Chengdu, China.
To commemorate the milestone, Tiffany & Co. hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the boutique with Anthony Ledru, president and chief executive officer of Tiffany & Co.; Maxence Kinget, president of Tiffany & Co. Greater China, and actress and model Zhang Ziyi.
“Our new Taikoo Li flagship store effortlessly blends Tiffany & Co.’s inventiveness with the unique essence of Chengdu. The store’s façade welcomes clients into the world of Tiffany with a captivating diamond-inspired design by architect Hugh Dutton while the interiors pay homage to Chengdu’s vibrant culture with unique design elements throughout each floor,” Ledru said via email. “As the first triplex flagship in China, the Chengdu Taikoo Li store demonstrates the house’s unwavering dedication to the region and offers clients a luxurious atmosphere for discovery and joy.”
To celebrate the grand opening, Tiffany & Co. designed several one-of-a-kind window displays including an artistic interpretation of Chengdu Renmin Park, showcasing a glimpse into a lush bamboo forest with Jean Schlumberger’s Bird on a Rock motif soaring through layers of verdant foliage, while a winding stairway weaves through the trees. All lead to a tranquil pond where Schlumberger’s design rests in quiet reflection. According to the brand, the window exemplifies Tiffany & Co.’s creativity and craft while paying homage to Chengdu.
From March 24 to May 25, the flagship with host a capsule from the brand archives, titled “Wonders from the Tiffany Archives.” The selection of archival pieces tells the story of the house’s nearly 200-year history across three themes: origins, diamonds and Jean Schlumberger.
