Rocket Private Views: Cartier at the V&A
The Rocket Private View series made a remarkable return with an unforgettable morning at the V&A Museum. Before the museum opened its doors to the public, guests were welcomed into the contemporary Blavatnik Hall for an exclusive view of the highly-rated Cartier exhibition.
The Breakfast Reception
Friends of Rocket gathered to enjoy our signature breakfast canapés, an array of fresh cold-pressed juices, and specialty coffee from Social Espresso. Drawing inspiration from French sophistication and the rich flavours of the season, Rocket curated a refined autumnal breakfast that celebrated elegance in every detail. Guests indulged in truffle Brie de Meaux sablés topped with pickled apple, soufflé tarts of smoked haddock crowned with Exmoor caviar, and perfectly seasoned steak tartare on crisp potato galettes — each served on gleaming silver trays
The ambience was completed by gorgeous burgundy florals from Lavender Green and elegant décor by Velvet Living, enveloping the space in a quiet opulence that echoed the timeless allure of Cartier.
