Scroll through as we celebrate the legacy of Louis Comfort Tiffany. An influential figure in the Art Nouveau movement, Louis Comfort Tiffany’s colorful, naturalistic aesthetic remains a major inspiration for Tiffany @tiffanyandco designers even today.
Louis became Tiffany’s first official Design Director in 1902, and is celebrated due to the diversity of his artistic achievements and his love for materials such as glass, mosaics, bronze, lamps and jewelry.

Tiffany is inextricably linked to the American decorative arts and may be pronounced one of the most creative and prolific designers of the late 19th-century.
“Nature is always beautiful,” Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) famously used to say.
Fun Fact: Morse Museum @morsemuseum of American Art is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany.

The upper floor of the home remains equally true to the concept of openness and light. The family area, bedrooms, and playroom each evoke a sense of relaxation, with large windows framing unobstructed views of the sea. The neutral color scheme extends here, offering a visual continuity that pulls the natural world inside, without overwhelming the senses. Even the bathrooms, with their clean lines and open windows, invite the bay’s soft light and colors into the space, further enhancing the quiet harmony of the design.
