The Pokemon x Tiffany & Co. x Arsham Studio Collection
Arsham told High Snobietythat he wanted to create a collection in the same aesthetic as his Future Relics art series, which reimagines everyday objects as archeological discoveries from a dystopian future. Through the Tiffany & Co. collaboration, “we’ve immortalized our beloved Pokemon in a celebration of Tiffany’s renowned artistry.” His vision is similar to theFuture Paradox Pokemon inPokemon Violet. ThePokemonjewelry collection will be available at theTiffany & Co. Landmark in New York and via Tiffany & Co.’s official website.
ThisPokemoncollaboration could be the perfect holiday gift, especially for avid fans and collectors, but it will cost a pretty penny. Hopefully, the pieces don’t sell out quickly, just like what happened with thePokemonx Van Gogh Pikachu card, because they usually come in limited quantities.
