Designed by the renowned architectural firm Kengo Kuma and Associates in 1996, the 580 square meters central boutique of Tiffany & Co. in Ginza it is essentially wrapped in a reflective shell that brings to mind the cutting of precious stones by artisans.

“The gem is slightly raised and light can enter through the back,” writes Kengo Kuma.

This gem-like quality is realized as a series of 292 aluminum and glass honeycomb panels that are at different angles placed on the facade. This particular polyhedral technique allows light to penetrate and diffuse as it would if it fell on a well-cut diamond.

Although primarily focused on the facade of the boutique, Damien Hirst’s work also infiltrates the interior as a kind of floral tapestry. The interiors of the three floors have been transformed, moving away from Kengo Kuma’s original earthy and darker color palette.

Today, the boutique consists of a white background with touches of pastel pink, light-colored wood, and details that shine: jewelry, chandeliers, table lamps, glass, and more.

On its Instagram account, Tiffany & Co. he posted videowhich records the impressive panel-by-panel deposition of Damien Hirst’s work on the polyhedral facade designed by Kengo Kuma.
