Remember the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's? A fantasy idea.
Wait. Stop. There is a cafe there now called The Blue Box Cafe and the chef is Daniel Boulud. Isn't that so perfect? It is fulfilling the fantasy of the movie, it seems.
As a room, it evokes the late 1950s early 60s to me. I see women with white gloves sitting at the tables.
Could we could create this atmosphere ourselves with these blue boxes hanging from our ceilings? They seem to be available from Amazon, Postmark (used), and Temu. It is feasible now to get the blue boxes. But that wasn't the case in the past. Tiffany doesn't sell the blue boxes:
“Tiffany has one thing in stock that you cannot buy of him for as much money as you may offer; he will only give it to you. And that is one of his boxes.”.
And that colour?
"Since 1998, Tiffany Blue® has been registered as a color trademark by Tiffany and, in 2001, was standardized as a custom color created by Pantone® exclusively for Tiffany and not publicly available. No matter the medium the color is reproduced in, Tiffany's proprietary hue remains consistent and instantly recognizable."
The name is 1837 Blue - named for the year Tiffany was founded. Tiffany says the box is so desirable because: "It has long overflowed with promises: of possibility, dreams, and, of course, love."
Sounds like Tiffany has fulfilled itself from the movie.
Well done.
I wonder if this clock was created by Tiffany - it is at the Flagler University in St. Augustine, Florida.
