An unusual Tiffany & Co. boutique was opened at Singapore's airport. Its façade was built from recycled plastic from the ocean floor.
Can high fashion brands and ecology go hand in hand? Of course. A great example of environmental and climate awareness was recently provided by Tiffany & Co. which presented an unusual way to recycle plastic from the ocean floor and the remains of destroyed fishing nets.

Eco-friendly architecture. Façade made of plastic from the ocean floor
The Tiffany & Co. boutique was designed by architects from the Dutch studio MVRDV. The shop's blue façade is reminiscent of a mesh with irregular openings and the interior of the boutique can be seen through it. The look of the boutique is inspired by the design associated with the brand and the coral reefs off the coast of Singapore.
Tiffany & Co. emphasises its commitment to sustainability and ecology. Among other things, the brand has committed to achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 in both its own operations and supply chain. Alongside this, it is undertaking the construction and modernisation of buildings to make them greener. The company has also set itself the goal of phasing out the use of all single-use plastics in the manufacture of packaging by 2025.
