The Tiffany & Co. x Fondation César collaboration debuts as a standout moment in luxury homeware design. Launched in partnership with Sotheby’s, this collection combines Tiffany’s storied legacy with the innovative spirit of French sculptor César, offering a reimagined approach to everyday tableware and decorative objects.
Unveiled during Sotheby’s exclusive Tiffany Studios sale, the collection pays homage to craftsmanship and artistic expression. Porcelain pieces inspired by César’s iconic 'broken plate' style, gold-plated flatware, and sculptural accents redefine modern elegance. Each item captures the intersection of Tiffany’s rich archives and César’s avant-garde aesthetic.
Curated by Lauren Santo Domingo, artistic director of Tiffany Home, the collection bridges tradition and modernity, elevating any space it graces. Visitors to Sotheby’s New York galleries can experience this artful display firsthand, alongside the extraordinary works of Tiffany Studios showcased in this week’s auctions.
