Liana Yaroslavksy…
…THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX
Liana Yaroslavsky is a Paris-based artist and designer who proves that the beauty of traditional chandeliers can be found on the floor as well as on the ceiling. Yaroslavsky creates plexiglass coffee tables filled with antique chandeliers that have been dismantled and recreated in an exciting, eye-catching way. Materials such as Murano glass chandeliers, Napoleon III tapestries, Versailles floors and Bohemian crystals are some examples of the unique nature of Yaroslavsky’s deliciously decadent work. That’s Dome above, more after the jump.

… ”HAUTE EPOCH” TO KILL AT COREY HELFORD GALLERY

Haute Epoch is the latest from the artist known for her drop dead gorgeous renderings of mysterious female characters that appear as if they just stepped out of a swanky Dia de Los Muertos celebration.
Haute Epoch opens next Saturday, April 11th, 2009 at Corey Helford. Do what you need to do to be there, because this promises to be a hauntingly beautiful and fun opening. Details at www.coreyhelfordgallery.com
redesigned; Tiffany & Co
…FLAGSHIP STORE IN TOKYO
 |
Much like a ring’s setting that securely holds a diamond in place, New York-based Tiffany & Co.’s redesigned luxurious flagship in Tokyo provides the foundation that allows the merchandise to shine—literally. Opening the doors to its new look in November 2008, both the interior and exterior of the store in Tokyo’s Ginza shopping district take their design cues from the diamond itself. “The interior concept was to create a space that was minimal, elegant, open and textured,” says Michael Christ, president of Tiffany & Co., Japan. “Tiffany jewelry emerges as the star in this design, with the interior elements focused on creating a fitting stage that draws customers in and allows them to focus on the beauty of our classic designs.”
The Tiffany Ginza store resides in the Honten building, which opened in 1996 and has undergone minor renovations over the years, but never one as large as the major redesign that began in October 2007. The Honten building has 10 floors (including a basement level), of which Tiffany’s approximately 12,000-sq.-ft. store occupies the bottom three levels with a street-front entrance.
To head up the ambitious task of recreating the iconic brand’s statement in such an important location, Tiffany called upon renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma of Kengo Kuma Associates, Tokyo. “We thought about a residence-like space in a calm atmosphere so that visitors would feel comfortable and relaxed,” Kuma explains. Indeed, customers will feel right at home in the luxe environment, created with rich materials and surfaces, and complemented with a sophisticated lighting design coordinated by Satoshi Uchihara of Tokyo-based Uchihara Creative Lighting Design Inc.
