The impeccable Peter Marino, and OMA New York led by Shohei Shigematsu have worked their magic at the updated Tiffany & Co. Flagship store.  The new store has been open for more than a year now and it still looks just as stunning as it did when it initially relaunched in April 2023.  Not only did the team completely transform the entire building but they also added a three-story volume on top!  The 'experience' (because you can't just call it a store) is truly beautiful.  Not only are you transformed upon entering thru the doors; it's a feast for the eyes in so many different ways.  But of course you also can shop till you drop and then finish with a savory meal in the Blue Box Cafe by Daniel Bould.  My recommendation is to visit when you ample time to truly walk the building and be able to explore the different spaces, rooms and categories of goods offered.  Even then you may have to return for a second trip or go back to purchase that stunning necklace you can't stop thinking about.  At any rate, I started off by meandered the first floor and taking in the stunning imagery on the walls.  You are immediately transported when you walk thru the doors even if it's pouring rain outside it's always a beautiful and sunny day inside thanks to the clever designs within.   Next, I took the elevator to the 5th floor and popped in to have some jewelry cleaned and continued up the stunning staircase to the Blue Box Cafe and home accessories on the 6th floor.  The tableware, wedding gifts, candles and home decor items are full of patterns, luxe materials and rich colors.  After creating my mental wish list I opted to take the stair down to the other levels. 

The sculptural spiral staircase is complimented by a decorative railing which almost appears to have floating orbs on it.  Paired with a luminous pearlescent wallcovering you feel like your floating as you walk down the stairs.  What's even more lovely is as you land at the base of the staircase on level 3 you are suddenly greeted by this Parisian-modern sculpture.  The Venus of Arles by Daniel Arsham is a bronze & steel piece depicting the Greek goddess of love and beauty in a modern form.  It fits perfectly within Tiffany's iconic color as this sculpture is patinated in shades of green and blue.  I'm sure quite intentionally the sculpture is installed here as this level where the engagement diamonds are on display; right at the heart and soul of Tiffany's themselves.  

I truly enjoyed this visit to Tiffany's and experiencing the design features, material palette and of all beauty that went along with it.  Definitely a city Landmark not to be missed.
