"Since its inception 170 years ago, Tiffany & Co. has become synonymous with elegant, stylish design, creating the world's most dazzling jewelry and decorative objects. Today, its signature blue box is recognized the world over and can be obtained at more than two hundred locations around the globe." "In Tiffany Style, Tiffany's design director, John Loring, gathers for the first time in one volume the most memorable pieces ever produced by the company. In this collection, readers will find a spectacular array of objects, from Louis Comfort Tiffany's famous lamps to opulent silver tea sets, from Andy Warhol's whimsical Christmas illustrations to Elsa Peretti's signature heart pendant." "Renowned photographer Harry Benson was commissioned especially for this book - his images of Ballet Florida dancers modeling signature pieces of Tiffany jewelry complement the rich selection of design sketches as well as vintage and contemporary photography, much of it from Tiffany's unparalleled archives. Tiffany Style reveals the fascinating history and evolution of design at Tiffany & Co. through its most remarkable creations."--Jacket.
