Tiffany & Co. at Zhangyuan — Tiffany Blue Book Sea of Wonder (2025)

Zhangyuan hosted Tiffany & Co.'s 2025 Blue Book high jewelry exhibition, Sea of Wonder, presenting themed jewelry suites and a Schlumberger design space.

The venue

Zhangyuan is a historic garden compound in central Shanghai, composed of restored lane houses, courtyards and garden passages. Its rooms and outdoor routes are used for cultural programmes, brand presentations and visitor events. The site combines smaller domestic-scale interiors with open courtyard space, so exhibitions can move between enclosed viewing rooms and exterior circulation. The venue sits within the city's central Jing'an district.

How the space was used

For the project, Zhangyuan's rooms were arranged as a themed jewelry exhibition. The main display placed the Anemone, Shell and Mermaid suites within a deep-blue, wave-like setting. A separate area presented Jean Schlumberger's classic designs and related timepieces, including the Bird on a Rock watch and a flying tourbillon. An AR room enlarged the original Bird on a Rock brooch.

Why it works here

Zhangyuan suits a high jewelry exhibition because its domestic-scale rooms and courtyards slow visitor movement and separate viewing zones from open circulation. The central Shanghai setting makes the venue accessible for a one-day presentation, while the historic architecture provides a neutral, residential scale for display cases and small objects.
