L’ECOLE Van Cleef & Arpels

Founded in 2012 in Place Vendôme, Paris, with the support of the High Jewelry Maison Van Cleef & Arpels, L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts is the first ever educational initiative which welcomes the general public into the knowledge of jewelry arts. While traveling around the world to share its knowledge, the three successful nomadic editions in Hong Kong have notably let L’ÉCOLE find a home in Asia: 2019 marked the official opening of L’ÉCOLE Asia Pacific in K11 MUSEA, Hong Kong to be its first permanent school outside Paris. Both schools of L’ÉCOLE share the same mission and vision. Through courses, videos, books, talks and exhibitions, L’ÉCOLE offers an introduction to the art history of jewelry, the savoir-faire of jewelry making and the universe of gemstones.

The design for Van Cleef & Arpels stores worldwide remains under the direction of their Paris atelier and this is no different with this project. Under our executive interior design service, we support the Paris team during the early stages and take responsibility from tender drawings and documentation, project management and site co-ordination to delivery of the store prior to opening.
