Van Cleef & Arpels presents its new High Jewellery collection – “L’Arche de Noé racontée par Van Cleef & Arpels” – during the month of September (from 3. to 26.) with an exhibition open to the public and free at the Hotel d’Evreux.
To present its new High Jewelry collection, la Maison entrusted Robert Wilson, American set designer famed for his radiant, subtle, and thrilling conceptions, with the scenography.
In his vision of the Ark, Robert Wilson imagined a sensory mise-en-scène plunged in the engulfing darkness. The constant screening of a video is reminiscent of the sea; the soft and enfolding piece of music evokes mystery; the skies darken as lightning streaks herald a storm, the Ark departs, and the ensuing respite hums like a promise of peace…
Robert Wilson creates a dreamlike travel through a positive and timeless interpretation of the of Noah’s Ark, evoking first of all a preserved paradise.
Graceful giraffes, mischievous monkeys, colorful parrots, and tenderly united penguins …the pleasure of discovering this new high jewelery collection consists only of the animal kingdom representative pins, all in an immersive experience …
