The American jewellery house’s CEO and president Anthony Ledru on how the city’s vibrant hospitality culture makes Hong Kong a priority for the brand

American jeweller Tiffany & Co. is rapidly bolstering its physical presence in Asia. Anchored by stand-out store openings in Tokyo’s Ginza district and Taikoo Li Sanlitun in Beijing, the LVMH-owned house may now be as well-known for these stores as for its jewellery – each store is built to resemble a work of art and is inspired, in some way or another, by Tiffany & Co.’s extensive archives and history. The latest addition to its stunning line-up of retail destinations is the new Hong Kong store at Lee Gardens, with its Tiffany Blue Box Cafe set to open there next month.

While the Ginza outpost paid homage to the wisteria-like glass designs of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the son of Tiffany & Co. founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, the Lee Gardens store takes inspiration from a bamboo print that Louis Comfort collected in the early 20th century. Created in collaboration with textile and metal artist Mariko Kusumoto, the store’s windowfronts feature realistic structures meant to evoke said print, which appears on the surrounding window graphics, constructed in her signature intricate style. Inside, hints of the house’s signature Tiffany Blue – trademarked back in 1998 and later standardised with a Pantone partnership as 1837 Blue, a nod to the year in which Tiffany & Co. was founded – imbue the space with a soft glow.
