Tiffany blue will become a familiar sight at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre in 2009.
The luxury jewellery retailer is planning to open a second Toronto location next spring, complete with a 7.6-m high façade featuring a Mondrian-like stone pattern, Black Zimbabwe marble arch, and Atlas Clock above the entrance.
Deco-inspired doors will greet customers as they make their way to stainless steel showcases and take in mottled Makore wood and custom furnishings.
“Tiffany is well established in Toronto and it gives us great pleasure to provide our growing number of customers with the convenience of shopping in the ideally located Yorkdale,” said Beth O. Canavan, executive vice-president of Tiffany & Co.
“With its recent expansion and elegant upgrade, the centre presents the perfect atmosphere for us to serve everyone with the superior quality, craftsmanship, and design excellence that are synonymous with Tiffany & Co.”
The 576-m2 store is the latest retailer to move into Yorkdale’s 148,645-m2 expansion project. Completed in 2005, the addition caters to high-end retailers and features an 18-m high glass atrium.
The location will showcase exclusive Tiffany collections, including its line of diamond engagement rings, fine and sterling silver jewellery, and designs by Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, Jean Schlumberger, and Frank Gehry.
