Tiffany & Co. is proud to unveil a captivating new collection of tableware and home objects that celebrates the innovative spirit of renowned French sculptor César. This unique collaboration, titled Tiffany & Co. x Fondation César, pays homage to César’s creative vocabulary and vision, seamlessly blending the iconic craftsmanship of Tiffany with the bold artistry of one of France’s most celebrated sculptors.
The collection features an array of stunning pieces, including dessert plates, espresso cups with saucers, and elegant spoons, all expertly crafted by the esteemed porcelain atelier Le Tallec. Drawing inspiration from three archival designs created in the 1970s, the pieces have been reimagined in César’s signature “broken plate” style, originally designed in 1973. This artistic reinterpretation invites collectors and connoisseurs alike to experience the intersection of fine art and exquisite tableware.
Under the creative direction of Lauren Santo Domingo, artistic director of Tiffany Home, the Tiffany & Co. x Fondation César collection breaks traditional design boundaries. Each plate features a striking solid color that enhances the mosaic effect, beautifully contrasted by a bottom layer in Tiffany Blue—the brand’s iconic hue that symbolizes elegance and luxury.
The carefully curated offerings are designed to elevate any dining or tea service, transforming everyday moments into extraordinary experiences. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or enjoying a quiet afternoon, these pieces will inspire creativity and conversation at the table.
César, a pioneer of Nouveau Réalisme, is celebrated for his revolutionary sculptures that utilize industrial scrap metal and vehicles, collectively known as Compressions. His semi-organized sculptural spills, referred to as Expansions, have gained international acclaim and are featured in prominent museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, Tate Gallery, and the National Gallery of Art.
With the launch of this new collection, Tiffany & Co. not only honors César’s artistic legacy but also reaffirms its commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and timeless elegance. The Tiffany & Co. x Fondation César collection invites art and design enthusiasts to experience the beauty of collaboration and the artistry of fine tableware.
