GLIMPSES OF WONDER

Tiffany & Co. celebrates its 187 years of craftsmanship and ingenuity with a one-of-a-kind exhibition in Tokyo.

TOKYO NODE Gallery is a cavernous arts and events space perched on the 45th floor of the staggering Toranomon Hills Station Tower, one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo. It is only apt that 10 of the gallery’s rooms are hosting the ongoing Tiffany Wonder exhibition by NYC-based luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co.

In a one-of-its-kind immersive showcase that is also the brand’s grandest to date and the first in Japan, hundreds of archival Tiffany jewels, as well as more recent creations, are on display, brilliantly reflecting the jeweller’s shining legacy since its foundation in 1837.

On Tiffany & Co.’s long-standing connection with the country, Anthony Ledru, the president and chief executive officer of the brand, told Bazaar India, “Japan has inspired Tiffany & Co. for decades, and the House’s authentic connection and extensive history in the region has only continued to grow.”

Tiffany’s tryst with Japan goes as far back as its earliest days, when Charles Lewis Tiffany brought imported Japanese goods to his American clients in the 19th century, a rarity at the time.
