Tiffany & Co. unveiled its latest exhibition, “Legendary Legacy,” in Bangkok.
“Thailand’s unique balance of tradition and modernity offers an ideal backdrop to showcase the visionary works of legendary designer Jean Schlumberger,” Anthony Ledru, president and chief executive officer, said to WWD. “Inspired by his travels across Southeast Asia, several of Jean Schlumberger’s exquisite designs such as the Elephant Head Clip with diamonds, emeralds and turquoise, reflect his deep respect for Thai culture and Tiffany & Co.’s authentic connection to the region. In a country where heritage and innovation coexist, ‘Legendary Legacy’ invites visitors to connect with Tiffany’s storied legacy and enduring creative spirit.”

The exhibition marks the brand’s first exhibition in Thailand, offering an exploration of Tiffany & Co.’s design heritage through the lens of legendary designer Jean Schlumberger. Set across five rooms, guests are told a story of design, creativity, and heritage with unique selection of over 50 objects from the Tiffany Archives.
The experience begins with “Guadeloupe: An Island of Inspiration,” offering insight into how Schlumberger drew from the rich natural beauty of the Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe, where he had a home, to inform his creative vision. Next, in “Garden of Imagination,” guests will explore his fascination with creatures, plants and landscapes of the natural world reinterpreted with surreal beauty.

The “Depths of Beauty” follows, featuring creations inspired by Schlumberger’s deep passion for the sea, such as the Hedges and Flowers necklace with yellow sapphires, turquoise and diamonds. The exhibition then moves into “Wings: Symbols of the Soul,” a space dedicated to flight and transformation.
The exhibition concludes with the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond — the cornerstone of Tiffany & Co. — and for the first time in the region, exhibited in its fifth and latest setting. The current design draws inspiration from the iconic Bird on a Rock brooch, one of the Tiffany Diamond’s previous settings.
