PRESS CLUB—

FROM THE HEART
By Rosie Dalton

I Shine, You Shine, We Shine by Derrick Adams

Few icons are quite so memorable as the Tiffany heart tag. ‘Return to Tiffany’ it reminds us. And return to a place of love. So this year, the House has returned to that iconic heart for the inspiration behind its latest social impact platform. Tiffany Atrium is designed to advance opportunities for historically underrepresented communities, with the mission to create a more diverse and inclusive jewellery industry. 

‘Atrium’ is a nod to the heart, as well as the centre room around which a house is built. The heart of the home. And, thus, the initiative seeks to inspire heartfelt connection and social change. 

‘We are thrilled to introduce the Tiffany Atrium platform, creating a centralised hub for our continued journey in the worlds of diversity, equity and inclusion,’ explains Tiffany & Co. CEO Anthony Ledru. ‘At Tiffany & Co., we have a responsibility to enact positive change in our world. Tiffany Atrium will allow us to streamline and scale the necessary processes in doing so.’

To mark the launch of Tiffany Atrium, the House has collaborated with American visual artist and community-builder Derrick Adams to design an original artwork, entitled I Shine, You Shine, We Shine. This artwork will be auctioned by online art marketplace Artsy, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting The Last Resort Artist Retreat—an artist residency designed to provide healing and restoration to Black artists and cultural workers, founded by Adams in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland.

Over the coming months, Tiffany Atrium will continue building upon its partnerships and providing opportunities that support the long-term growth and development of creatives and institutions. This includes Tiffany & Co. Apprenticeship Programs, as well as educational and professional opportunities for students in the creative arts and communications fields at select Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). 

As part of Tiffany & Co.’s responsibility to the future, Tiffany Atrium is a social impact platform that, like the work of Derrick Adams, seeks to shine a light on and advance opportunities for historically underrepresented communities. From the heart.
