Van Cleef & Arpels blooms in Sydney’s Martin Place
Spring and its abundant flora form the basis for many of Van Cleef & Arpels finest creations. Now, the French maison pays tribute to the beauty of spring with its ‘Spring is Blooming at Martin Place’ event in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. The event—which previously took place in New York City and Seoul—turns the corporate thoroughfare into an enchanted garden, with the maison collaboratibg with French artist Charlotte Gastaut to bring the space to life through delicate illustrations that draw inspiration from the diaphanous ethereal beauty of silk.
The whimsical pop up offers workshops for young enthusiasts (aged four and over) and adults alike, with activities like pinwheel crafting, charm making, flowerpot decorating, and gardening on offer.
The complimentary pop up is open from the 3rd to 13th of September and weaves from Castlereagh Street through Martin Place, with guests invited to journey through the garden and discover illustrated markers hidden throughout the space. Completing the journey results in a token being awarded, which can be redeemed for a bespoke Messina gelato at the dedicated Van Cleef & Arpels gelato cart (open from 2pm to 5pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 1pm on Saturday and Sunday).
‘Spring is Blooming at Martin Place’ will take place from 3rd to 13th of September 2026 at Martin Place, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
