Singapore may never see snow, but this year Van Cleef & Arpels is giving Orchard Road its own winter moment. Think shimmering trees, sculpted frost, and a fantastical forest façade that begs for a photo (or twenty).
Conceived in collaboration with designers Burcu & Geoffrey, the maison’s outdoor façade has been transformed into an ephemeral décor—a dreamlike forest where every branch appears dipped in moonlit frost. Under the spell of winter’s grace, snow-dusted trees shimmer like silver filigree, echoing the poetic craftsmanship that has defined Van Cleef & Arpels for over a century. The scene feels almost cinematic: a beautiful winter forest suspended in the tropics, conjured purely through imagination, artistry, and a flair for wonder.
At the heart of the installation lies an outdoor winter garden designed for wandering, photographing, and lingering a little longer. Visitors can even redeem exquisitely decorated cookies—miniature keepsakes dusted with festive whimsy.
Beside the garden is the Christmas tree installation—step inside, and the story deepens. A series of interactive activations celebrate the beauty and heritage of the maison, particularly its beloved Alhambra collection. Here, guests of all ages can take part in hands-on experiences—from origami and colouring stations to letter-writing activities that rekindle the romance of slow, thoughtful gestures.
“It is with immense joy that we open a new chapter in our history with this new boutique, where heritage and innovation speak the same language, all within the bucolic atmosphere of a beautiful garden curated with care and crafted with purpose. Together, these two spaces form more than a destination – they form a journey that reflects the maison’s vision and passion, rooted in excellence, nourished with creativity and enriched with a meaningful experience. We open the gates to our garden and invite the world to wander in our universe,” says Dorothee Henrio, Managing Director, Southeast Asia.
More than a festive installation, Van Cleef & Arpels’ winter garden at ION Orchard offers a moment of pause—a place to breathe, play, create, and reconnect with a sense of childlike awe. As Orchard Road glitters with holiday lights, the maison’s snowy haven stands as a reminder that magic doesn’t need a chill in the air; sometimes, all it takes is imagination.
The Van Cleef & Arpels festive installation is open from now until January 1, 2026.
