The Great Hall was reimagined as The Jewellery Box: a surreal world where mirrored architecture, exquisite materials and sculptural florals balanced grandeur with intimacy.
Guests arrived beneath a façade illuminated in Cartier red and were welcomed by a procession of bellboys before a private exhibition viewing. Cocktails and performances built anticipation ahead of the spectacular reveal of the Great Hall.
Mirrored tables appeared to dissolve into towering reflective walls, while ombré florals echoed the exhibition palette and illuminated architecture drew the eye upwards. A series of performances culminated in an intimate concert by Stephen Sanchez, capturing a night of beauty, emotion and revelation.
"The concept mesmerised our guests. From the lighting on the tables and pillars – to the dance performance, model presentation and final act – everything was extremely well received. Thank you Rizer, for your attention to detail, professionalism and flawless execution. This success is very much yours as well."
Marketing, Communications and Client Director, Cartier
