Haléau Beauty Launch

Haléau’s world, set by the seaside. For the brand’s launch at Bannisters, we created an intimate “Pearl Palette” lunch overlooking the ocean.

Inside, the room was wrapped in soft white drapery, with a single, elongated table as the focal point. Layered white linens, sculptural shell candles, fine stemware and pearlescent accents brought Haléau’s clean, luminous aesthetic into the details. Each place setting held a napkin fold, handwritten card and a golden compact, resting as a small keepsake beside the plate.

On the terrace, Ruinart Champagne cooled in vintage buckets and was poured into shell-stemmed coupes to open a menu of oysters and seafood by Rick Stein. The launch felt like stepping into Haléau’s universe: refined, coastal and quietly radiant.
