Tiffany Façade Stuttgart | MVRDV
Stuttgart / Germany / 2024
The latest in a series of Tiffany store façades, for the design of Tiffany's store in Stuttgart's Dorotheen Quartier MVRDV’s designers were inspired by Tiffany’s history of material innovation to create a façade of hand-crafted ceramic elements in the shape of diamonds. Invisibly mounted onto the glass storefront to give a “floating” effect, these diamonds have an iridescent finish that is reminiscent of the Favrile Glass patented by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1894.
