In October, rumors swirled that LVMH made an offer to buy Tiffany & Co. At the time, the jewelry label was said to be worth $12 billion. Now, sources are saying that the luxury conglomerate offered $120 per share in an all-cash bid of $14.5 billion. But the brand wants LVMH to raise the offer. At one point last year Tiffany’s value reached $140 per share, which is what the brand’s board is allegedly looking to be offered.

Berluti Heads to Art Basel in Miami
Kris Van Assche of Berluti and François Laffanour of Galerie Downtown will present a series of original Pierre Jeanneret pieces at Art Basel. The series consists of 17 original furniture pieces including a desk, a day bed, a public bench, and a variety of chairs. Van Assche has developed an entirely new color palette for the furniture, which is upholstered with Berluti’s Venezia leather. “I have always loved and collected Pierre Jeanneret’s furniture,” says Van Assche. “I knew that the Berluti patina know-how would give back all their splendor to those iconic pieces, aged through time. It is an opportunity for this Berluti craft to be rediscovered in a new context.” Art Basel takes place from December 2 to 8.
