Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) was an American artist and designer best known for his work in decorative arts, particularly in stained glass. As the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co., Louis pursued his creative path, establishing Tiffany Studios in 1885. He became renowned for his innovative glasswork, especially for developing Favrile glass, a unique type of iridescent glass. His work included stained glass windows, lamps, mosaics, and jewellery, blending elements of the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements. Tiffany’s creations were marked by a focus on nature-inspired designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Tiffany Studios became one of the most influential design firms in the U.S. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, producing many of the iconic Tiffany lamps, which remain highly collectible today. His innovations helped redefine American decorative art, and his legacy lives on through his contributions to both art and design history. Throughout his career, Tiffany sought to bring art into everyday life, believing that beauty should be accessible to all. His work was showcased internationally, and he left a lasting impact on both American and global design trends.
