The design of the new store reflects the brand's reputation as a luxury house and TIFFANY & Co.'s 177-year history, including its first Paris opening in 1868. From the facade, illuminated by the signature Tiffany Blue, to the elegant interiors, it creates a luxurious space that merges the energy of New York with the elegance of Paris.






The store spans three floors, including private salons, with each level connected by a spiral staircase crafted from Calacatta marble and limestone, encircling a magnificent chandelier. Windows are designed to maximize natural light, enhancing the brilliance of the diamonds. Throughout the space, items and historical photographs and paintings symbolizing TIFFANY & Co.'s strong connection to France are displayed. The central chandelier was created by London-based Studio Roso (http://studio-roso.com/) and features 1837 glass tubes, representing the year of TIFFANY & Co.'s founding, cascading like a waterfall from the third to the first floor.






To celebrate the opening, one of the world's rarest diamonds, the Tiffany Diamond, will be exhibited for a limited time. The yellow diamond, set in a necklace, was purchased by TIFFANY & Co. founder Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1878 and cut to 128.54 carats in Paris.




On Tuesday, June 10th, a grand party was held, welcoming numerous guests from around the world, including Hollywood actresses Jessica Biel and Hilary Swank, French actresses Émilie Dequenne, Marina Hands, and Mélanie Doutey, and Italian actress Caterina Murino. Dramatic illuminations that bathed the new Champs-Élysées store and the Obelisk in Place de la Concorde in Tiffany Blue, along with a performance by British singer-songwriter VV Brown, delighted guests with special experiences.


With this opening, TIFFANY & Co. has joined the Centre des Monuments Nationaux (CMN) and announced its support for the restoration of the Arc de Triomphe, a symbolic cultural monument of France.
