Ever wanted to visit an exclusive Van Cleef & Arpels pop-up? Well, come 28 June 2025, you can, at the special Perlée installation on Level 1 of ION Orchard. Designed in collaboration with visual artist Arthur Hoffner, the pop-up promises an enchanting journey where those iconic golden beads come alive.
Since debuting in 2008, the Perlée collection gained favour for its shimmering rounded beads that illustrate the maison’s expert savoir-faire. From the curvacious signature bracelet to the delicate Alhambra motif adorning clover creations, each piece radiates a contemporary elegance that transcends seasons and trends.
In Singapore, the pop-up will be a playground for the senses. Whimsical installations will feature the signature golden beads gliding amidst the Ferris Wheel, Fountain and Hourglass. Between admiring the exquisite Perlée displays, you can also get hands-on with interactive games, such as Balance Maze, OXO and Connect 4.
Alongside the Perlée creations, the space will also highlight diverse patrimonial pieces from the Van Cleef & Arpels archive. It’s a rare opportunity to see vintage pieces like the 1966 Rosace Clip, the 1962 Zip Earrings and the 1949 Couscous Wristwatch. Altogether, they demonstrate how the emblematic golden bead motif lends itself to a great variety of aesthetics throughout the decades.
After Singapore (the ION Orchard pop-up ends on 13 July), the Perlée pop-up will travel to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, further extending Van Cleef & Arpels’ commitment to share the culture of jewellery and watches to a broader global audience.
