Born of the sea, the world of TASAKI at Plaza 66, Shanghai
You are invited to step into the world of TASAKI in Shanghai’s Plaza 66. A boutique inspired by TASAKI’s new brand concept and architectural design. Influenced by the sheltered waters and scattered archipelago of Ninety-Nine Islands of Japan, where TASAKI nurtures its pearls, the interior layers together different aquatic shades with the TASAKI Blue, the greenest blue in all the hues of blue. Sculptural furnishings evoke coastal rock shaped by wind and water, while specially commissioned floor coverings draw their organic patterns from washi compositions.
The boutique unfolds with the gentle cadence of a soft tide. Two entrance showcases stand like guardians of the shoreline, welcoming guests into a flowing sequence from signature Balance and Danger collections. Both are created at TASAKI’s atelier, and are examples of our exceptional high jewellery pieces. Elsewhere the Akoya Agora, a sculptural vessel inspired by an oyster shell, offers a moment to pause and connect with the pearl’s origins.

The journey throughout the space is punctuated with art and craft. Artist Eriko Horiki’s commissioned washi works soften the light across sweeping curved walls, while her ceiling compositions evoke sunlight filtering through the water. Site-specific works by Mabel Poblet, arriving later in the month, offer a personal interpretation of Ninety-Nine Islands’ landscape through memory and sensation.
The experience culminates in the private high jewellery salon, where guests are welcomed in comfort and privacy. A handmade glass table, crafted by artisans of the Venetian lagoon, recalls droplets suspended in glass, the fleeting movement of water, held still.
Rooted in Japanese craftsmanship, the boutique carries Ninety-Nine Islands’ quiet beauty into Shanghai: a place to slow down, discover and immerse oneself in the world of TASAKI.
Born by the sea in 1933, TASAKI begins with a pearl. In the waters of Japan’s Ninety-Nine Islands, Akoya pearls are cultivated with patience and precision, shaped by nature and time. To this day, TASAKI holds a rare farm-to-finish philosophy — cultivating its own pearls, crafting every piece in-house. Inspired by the sea and shaped by contemporary design, TASAKI pushes the boundaries of luxury through innovation, irreverent creativity and a distinctly Japanese sensibility.
Living gems, since 1933.
