Curved glass jewel box - Refurbished Tiffany's features curved glass stair by Glasshape

Tiffany's has long been a name synonymous with glamour and luxury. So it's not surprising that a fit-out for the Melbourne store is a flagship project for the company contracted to supply the curved glass balustrading for a sweeping spiral staircase.

Glasshape says the refurbishment of Tiffany's in Melbourne drew on the extensive experience and skill of the company's in-house technicians.

"No expense was spared for the fit-out. The glass spiral staircase is probably the most magnificent piece we have ever worked on it extends 4m over the two levels of the store, which gives it a real sense of grandeur. The balustrading was manufactured from high-quality, 16mm low-iron curved toughened glass, and was only made possible by our technicians and precision CAD drawings."

Glasshape worked closely with the architect to provide a solution to a very complex design brief.

The company says the architect wanted to achieve space, light and openness the staircase needed to look as though it was floating. "Glasshape came on board very early on we were the only company to say, Yes, we can do this'."

Glasshape worked to tolerances of just 2mm, and ensured the balustrading was a perfect fit. The company was also able to meet a tight timeframe for completion.
