Van Cleef & Arpels has introduced the captivating "Time, Nature, Love" exhibition at the D Museum in Seoul, running from November 18, 2023, to April 14, 2024. Curated by Alba Cappellieri, the exhibition presents over 300 jewelry creations, watches, precious objects, sketches, and archival documents, showcasing the Maison's expert craftsmanship and pursuit of harmony as a true art form.
The exhibition, set in the artistic ambiance of the D Museum, offers visitors an enchanting journey through three thematic sections: Time, Nature, and Love. Alba Cappellieri, an Italian scholar, emphasizes the intricate relationship between jewelry and time, exploring the eternal and ephemeral aspects, tradition, and fashion. Drawing inspiration from Italo Calvino's concepts, the exhibition highlights key themes like Paris, Elsewhere, and the values of Lightness, Quickness, Visibility, Exactitude, and Multiplicity, reflecting the Maison's timeless beauty in the fragmented age of the 20th century.
Nicolas Bos, the Chief Executive Officer of Van Cleef & Arpels, expressed the Maison's strength in maintaining a consistent approach to style, incorporating innovations, and transcending prevailing trends. The exhibition pays homage to three eternal dimensions: Time, rooted in a specific age and context; Nature, an enduring source of inspiration for the Maison's evolving style; and Love, the powerful energy that founded the High Jewellery Maison in 1906.
The exhibition's scenography, created by international designer-artist Johanna Grawunder, immerses visitors in a poetic and mysterious space with neon-colored light, emphasizing the timeless style of the Maison. Michał Batory, a graphic designer, contributes a special typography and video, enhancing the overall immersive experience.
