There are those who open a shop by inviting a few friends. There are those who invite journalists. And there are also those who, like Tiffany, organize a mega inauguration for the opening of a pop-up store, i.e. a temporary point of sale, often to celebrate an event or sell a particular product, with the participation of a host of actresses and models. This is what happened in Miami, in conjunction with the start of Art Basel, a fair dedicated to the art market. A few steps from the permanent store of Tiffany & Co, in the Miami Design District, the American Maison has opened the first pop-up café and shop. The link with the artistic world is represented by the inspiration from archival drawings of the father of pop-art, Andy Warhol, who worked with Tiffany from 1956 to 1962.

The neon with the name of the brand, which today belongs to the French group Lvmh, is precisely a reference to the pop atmosphere. Tiffany also commissioned artists Kai & Sunny to transform the two-level storefront using a colorful palette. The façade also forms a backdrop for the Christmas pop-up shop which features a curated assortment of the House’s gold and diamond jewellery. Indeed sympathetic to a pop-up shop.

Long list of participants in the inauguration, many of whom you can find in the photo gallery, including Hailey Bieber, J Balvin, Pharrell Williams, as well as the CEO of Tiffany, Anthony Ledru and his wife. The Tiffany & Co pop-up is located in the Miami Design District at 160 Northeast 40th Street and will remain open through January 31, 2023.

Glasses to see success up close. They are those of Tiffany & Co. customized in 18-karat gold, with 61 round brilliant diamonds for over 25 carats, and two small emeralds. Wearing them was Pharrell Williams, a Grammy-winning musician, who attended the presentation of the first collection of Kenzo’s creative director Nigo at the Galerie Vivienne in Paris.

The glasses are identical to those put up for auction at Sotheby’s in October 2021 (are they the same?). The history of these glasses begins in Mughal India in the seventeenth century, at a time when imperial wealth, scientific knowledge and artistic effort reached their peak at the same time. Commissioned by an unknown prince, an artist carved a diamond, weighing over 200 carats, and a brilliant emerald, weighing at least 300 carats, used in place of lens glass. Evidence of the technical skill involved, the existence of any comparable example of both is not known. Around 1890, the lenses were inserted into new frames, decorated with rose-cut diamonds.
