<p><span>Ready to treat your senses to some jaw-dropping jewellery and precious objects? Tomorrow, the </span><em>Van Cleef &amp; Arpels: Time, Nature, Love</em><span> exhibition opens at the D Museum in Seoul. Until 14 April 2024, over 300 jewellery pieces, watches and intricate objects (think powder cases, bags and fragrance bottles) &mdash; produced since the Maison's founding in 1906, with loans from private collections and over 90 original archives &mdash; congregate for the exhibition. Cue the house's famous Zip Necklace, ballerina clips, Mystery Set stunners, and even a bracelet owned by German-American actress Marlene Dietrich, which is being exhibited for the first time ever.<br /><br /></span></p>

      <p>President and CEO of Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, Nicolas Bos says: "The <em>Time, Nature, Love</em> exhibition was first presented in Milan in 2019-2020. In 2022, it was held at the Power Station of Art, Shanghai&rsquo;s museum of contemporary art, and in Saudi Arabia at the Saudi National Museum from January to April, 2023. Today we are proud to see it travelling to D Museum, in Seoul, where the Maison already took part in the cultural scene."</p>

        <div dir="ltr"><em>Time, Nature, Love</em> is curated by Alba Cappellieri, Italian author, scholar and Director of the International Master in Jewelry &amp; Fashion Accessories at Politecnico di Milano, and is conveyed in three sections &mdash; you guessed it: Time, Nature and Love. The exhibition is also largely organised according to Italian writer Italo Calvino's <i>Six Memos for the Next Millennium</i>, and Cappellieri chose key concepts through which she assembled the Maison's pieces according to their relationship with time. The Time section, for example, is arranged over 10 sections &mdash; Paris; the Elsewhere; five values recognised by Calvino: Lightness, Quickness, Visibility, Exactitude and Multiplicity; Fashion; Dance; and Architecture.&nbsp;<br /><br /><span>Nature is conveyed through sub-sections of Fauna, Botany and Flora. Last but certainly not least, Love displays symbols and gifts of love from the Maison. Expect scenography that's as arresting as the pieces displayed &mdash; designer-artist Johanna Grawunder used pastel lights, inspired by manga, to create a moody, poetic space. She even created a deconstructed, modern chandelier of scattered, dangling acrylic pieces in the Love room. This is one exhibition that very much deserves your time and love, indeed.</span></div>
